Germans in Milan

In order to prove things that Daniele told us about his beautiful city we moved to Milan for a couple of days. Lets face reality.


Actually he was right: pretty buildings and people everywhere.


Daniele and his girlfriend Natasha in lovely pose. Is Roman blinded by the light or disgusted by somebody?


Shot of the dome of Milan: after years of reconstruction they have done a pretty good job.


Some italian folks did a street gig spontaneously out of a van. Nightlife feelings.


We were able to catch some first pigments for summer time.


To tourists it is possible to go on top of the dome and have this great view at the city of Milan.


Natasha and Roman feeling comfortable in a small italian bar around the student district.

Bye & Hello

Lastly my internship at Delugan Meissl was done and I decided after endless nights to go back to my lovely town of Leipzig. But lets celebrate first - last dance!


It is a rule to start at the Naschmarkt and hang around in one of theese small pubs to have some beers.


Alex and Yildiz two other interns at DMAA also joined in.


And - of course - there were also Philipp and Roman!


Later on we went to the Donau bar to keep on rocking. Showing some dance moves - robotic rythms!


Attention - to much work can harm your brain.


DMAA interns are just lovely.

Go East

Time passed by quickly and I'm nearly done over here in vienna planning to go back to Leipzig for finishing my diploma there. For us it always has been a must to visit Bratislava!


We arrived the city by bus comfortably in an easy way. On this sunny but icecold sunday we first took the route through the old city centre.


Shot out of the courtyard of the national gallery.


Other buildings around the Danube river.


Kind of a rooftop extension. The bridge connects the old and the new part of the city.


As a reference for you guys a book that its worth to look at.
East-modern: Architecture and Design of the 1960s and 1970s in Slovakia (Paperback)

Nice pieces of modernist architecture with tons of hints in and around Bratislava.

JDS at TU

So here we go with another interesting office from Denmark - JDS.


As a co-founder of the former office PLOT, Julien de Smedt is running now his own offices in Copenhagen and Brussels.


Right at the beginning of the lecture he showed their fabulous ski jump project in Oslo, Norway.


For research purposes he showed other great projects like this one. Take it easy.


One of their great housing projects together with BIG.


Last but not least one of the latest projects they did in Taiwan.

Christmas Party Part II

Get some more pictures from the end of the last year.


We continued our evening in an oldschool ninepins spot. Love the colours and be reminded on tron.


Christopher tried it with his special double technique - hit!


Later on in the "Fledermaus" club. Everyone in a damn good mood.

Kellerkind

Sorry guys times has been busy without any time for updating the blog. Currently me, Daniele and Roman are still working on projects with deadlines next weeks - so trying to get some spare time makes no sense right now. I'll be back soon with some images of life over here. Next big hit: Daniele William Re is leafing us next weekend. Last chance to celebrate and party this evening. Stay gold.

R(e) bo(o)t

The architectural office R&Sie(n) was set up in 1989 and is lead by Francois Roche (1961, France), Stephanie Lavaux (1966, France) and Jean Navarro (1971, France). The office is based in Paris. The organic, oppositional architectural projects in the practice are concerned with the bond between building, context and human relations.


During the lecture of Francois Roche at Die Angewandte at vienna he explained his strategies and visions in explaining and showing several projects.

This is an image of the project olzweg. A competition they did in 2006.


Also R&Sie(n): The hypnosis room exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris 2005.

Granny Payback

There is no comment needed to this.

Wicked FLEXin

After some aweful weekends at the office you need a change. Lets go to the Flex Club.


Damn I don't even need photoshop to create this! Ugly creatures in an urban nightlife environment. (it's georg and me)
Do not feed but give them drinks.

Time for another lesson for you out there. How to get drunk in vienna or how to enter parties without paying the entrance.


Leipzig folks on tour: fortunately some other guys from my university decided to work in vienna. Time to connect.


Inside the volkstheater. Wie der Name verrät, ein Club im Theater am MQ.


Ai caramba! Allways joining in: our italian top model Daniele.


Too much beers and love for music. Paul, Henri & Georg.

Sunny Feelings

Fernbeziehung klingt schon doof. Ist es auch. Deshalb tut es gut sein Mädel nach einiger Zeit wieder zu sehen, eine Hommage:


Sitting in one of theese old styled coffee places and enjoying the atmosphere.


Perfekt Place for a sunny sunday afternoon: the park area aound Schloss Schönbrunn. Palmhouse shot.


Narrow corners of the city centre vienna.



Tarzan and Jane? Discovering butterflies and flowers in the palmhouse at the Burggarten. Look there is a snake on your shoulder darling.

Look/Book 2008

Time to move to several exhibitions and partys out there. The Vienna Design Week is callin.


Departure as one of the main supporting institutions for the creative industry vienna is calling for the Look/Book release event as a mirror of their ongoing projects.



At the same time its the last party of the vienna design week and an opportunity to have some fun with friends. Damn the buffet was awesome - barbecue and a lot of beck's.

Meeting Mr. Eisenman

Damn, there have been a lot of different things to do last weeks, so I'll be back with a lot more updates soon. We've been to several trips, exhibitions and stuff, take a look.


Fortunately they have chosen the smallest room in the Mumok to invite the Architect Peter Eisenman for a lecture about his new book. Lets sit down on the ground.

Since he heard about the other famous guys in architecture who are showing pictures of historical buildings to start a lecture, he is doing the same.The whole ambiance there was pretty relaxing.



Finally the topic came up to the ongoing project in galicia wich is under construction right now, not one of the best but still interesting.

The Fluc Club

Time starts to discover the nightlife of vienna. Lets take a deep breath.


The guys in the front are the other two intern mates. Even if they look like they are not drunk yet. Daniele (left) from Milan, Italy and Roman (right) from Nürnberg, Germany - funny people.


Night starts at Schwedenplatz, the area around Daniele's flat. We heard about a party around called "Electronix Gangbang" - promising name.


Inside the Fluc: its showing exactly how I felt after a nice resotto made by Daniele, some italian vine, a couple of tequila shots, martini drinks and a perfectly placed beer. Ready to dance.


Robert Owens did its best to entertain us party folks.


What else can I say - yes he did!
