brain fart

I was teaching the kids about architecture the other day and I was just admiring the geometry equations on the wall. All of the sudden, I totally forgot the quadratic equation. I know. You are thinking, what is wrong with this girl, but I specifically remembered where I was and who was in the room when we were learning it in 8th grade. Who my teacher was and etc. So for all those who have forgotten about it: here she is!
I feel like maybe I should start a math night or at least a geometry night vrs just craft night.

pre post mod?

This is the pre-Napoleonic (1758) proposal by Charles Ribart for an elephant-shaped building on the location of the current Arc de Triomphe. OH those French. Imagine if you actually live in an elephant.

School daze.

Currently, I have been teaching 6th graders about architectures at George Washington Carver Middle School in South Central LA. I have been posting everything on my other blog
THE FUTURE STARTS WITH YOU. The kids are amazing. In the midst of making a powerpoint, I found this diagram on parabolas. Pretty amazing. I miss math, don't you?

This past week has been field with lectures from miscellaneous art and architecture bloggers and media theorist. Welcome or post-welcome to Postopolis. This was put on by the Storefront for Art and Architecture and ForYourArt, and it is part of Los Angeles Art Weekend. Some of key people of blogs were David Basulto from Plataforma Arquitectura and ArchDaily, Jace Clayton from Mudd Up!, Régine Debatty from we make money not art , Bryan Finoki from Subtopia, Dan Hill from City of Sound, and Geoff Manaugh from BLDGBLOG. It was a 5 day event. I was able to attend the opening night and the closing. I was absent in the middle due to a cold. But all is well because I followed the whole thing on Twitter. Other people who presented were Fritz Haeg, Inaba, GOOD magazine, Islands of LA, Fallen Fruit, and Benjamin Bratton.
