A Rambling Room of My Own

This 60-second clip gives you a taste of a brilliant short film of Hong Kong West Kowloon Station shot by two young talented filmmakers @aliceopice and @joe.almond just before it opened to the public. Music is by Rob Szeliga. The full-length version of this film with voiceover from @andrewbromberg_aedas is featured by @dezeen on @youtube. . . . #architectureinfilm #dronevideo #drone #hongkong #westkowloon #hongkongwestkowloonstation #westkowloonstation #publicspace #creatingpublicspace #infrastructure #urban (at Hong Kong West Kowloon Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buue1KdFnzX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=24t819aza9uk

I received this beautiful booklet from @takeshi_hayatsu architects. Proud to say I had a little input (text) but credit should really go to the young graphic designer @candottrell, surely! Well done to both of you. If any of you out there happen to receive this little gem of a booklet, you should treat it with care and love it certainly deserves. #selfpublication #architectureinprint #londonbased #goingsolo #courageouscreative (at London, United Kingdom)

"Architecture as instruction-based art" takes us only so far - the @royalacademyart's #architecture room failed to leave me with any lingering interest or thought that I ended up photographing the museum floor which I think looks just as intriguing... . . . #architecturaldrawings #samy #maybe #because #theyalwayshavesamearchitectsworkonshow? #royalacademysummerexhibition #maybeimbeingabitharsh (at London, United Kingdom)

Fooling around @dulwichgallery with @if_do's mirrored #pavilion. Definitely worth visiting, as #delicious #food provided by local gourmet food #pub @thecamberwellarms is on offer . . . #if_do #youngbritishdesigners #architecture #summer #pavilion #dulwichpicturegallery #gowhenitssunny (at Dulwich Village)

Refreshingly #messy for a show by a group of MA architectural students from @uniwestminster -nothing too precious but full of #ideas that are waiting to be applied and burst out into the real mad world...and for me this show is invested with great memories of accompanying them on a trip to #Japan . . . #architecture #mastersdegree #studentshow #inspiring #teachthemsomethingnew #greatteaching #universityofwestminster #architecturalreview #dezeen (at London, United Kingdom)

Back in #HongKong I spent sometime going through @abromberg_arch's travel sketchbooks in @aedas_architects office up on the 34th floor overlooking #kowloonbay ... some beautiful #charcoal sketches of #buildings and #nature. These sketches show the #seedling of #ideas for this emerging #international architect... . . . #andrewbromberg #china #hongkong #backpacking #journeys around #asia #eastasia (at Hong Kong)

A whizzing tour of yet another dense Asian city #Singapore...despite its cultural obsession with shopping malls, I'm quietly impressed with the city with its progressive urban planning that ensures preservation of public realm, rich integration of greens and highly successful social housing schemes, hardly distinguishable from their luxury counterparts in terms of design quality, space, safety and cleanliness....apparently the city has managed to house every single Singaporean. . . . #progressive #urbanplanning #housing #greatarchitecture #publicrealm #density #highrise #hightech #skywalk #roofgardens #thestar and #sandcrawler by @abromberg_arch #interlace by @buroolescheeren #parkroyal hotel by @woha_architects #esplanade by @dparchitects #marinasandshotel by @safdiearchitects and @aedas_architects #gardensbythebay by @wilkinsoneyre and #grantassociates in Singapore (at Singapore)

Great to see the Japanese architect Takaharu Tezuka's talk last night at Hoxton Hall organised by Architecture Foundation. It was uplifting, full of humour, images filled with children running around. Loved that his wife Yui Tezuka (also architect) and his own children featured a lot in the photos. At the end of it, everyone was smiling, and possibly aided by the intimate space of @hoxtonhall (built in 1863!), it felt like we were all part of one big family...! (at London, United Kingdom)

If you have caught the #teahouse bug by visiting #thejapanesehouse exhibition @barbicancentre, you might want to also visit this tiny gem of a teahouse made by #weaving a long piece of unbroken #silk #thread by Japanese architect Shinichiro Hashiguchi and a series of other tiny tea houses by students inspired by Hasiguchi's structure. On #ParadeGround @chelseaual until 7th May. There is also a #lecture by Hashiguchi on "Reimagining Japanese craft traditions" at Chelsea College of Arts' lecture theatre tonight and tea ceremony on 4th May organised by @japan.society.london! . . . #japanesearchitecture #tearooms #teaceremony #japan #traditionalcrafts #japanesecrafts #weaving #building #making #tinyhouse (at Chelsea College of Art and Design)

I hadn't realised that these iconic photos of #kazuyosejima's House in a Plum Grove are taken by #junyaishigami ... I guess it makes sense as he used to work there. #thejapanesehouse exhibition @barbicancentre #seeittwice (at Barbican Centre)
