John Street (aka studio)

hi

this is where i spend all my time! (really)

its old. its crowded. its dirty.

its [typical] studio.
there are many models from years before hanging around, giving the place extra DRL 'ambiance' of course.






there are about 100 students occupying studio-space in this building - which is very hard to believe. the building is 5 levels though and consists of Design Research Lab phase I (my class), DRL phase II, Emergent Technologies (EmTechs), and a few random Landscape Urbanism and Sustainable Design folks (who are supposed to be leaving to give us more space).

its about 10-15 minutes walk from our main school and in an area known as Holborn/Clerkenwell. Its pretty dead on the weekends aside from 2 little mini-marts with hords of cookies and beer for sale. during the week however, there are lots of places to get cheap lunch - and recently a 3pound take-away vegetarian thai buffet has opened next door supplying me with much excitement for all my future evening meals!

one day this large portrait was in the hall . . . now she is gone . . . ?

Going from your writings, it sounds like you are adjusting well and enjoying life in London!

I don't get out to your blog too much...but I am reading about your adventures when I can!

Take care!

Linds!......i'm so behind on the blogs. So, i've noticed that i seem really cool when i refer to "my friend in London". It gives you instant street-cred. Thanks for making me cooler. Halloween pic's en route. Kel and i resurrected the cheerleaders for Ahmed's party. I was Pam Anderson for a work function. It was both sexual and violent....i called it "Celebration". (Que Wedding Crashers).

Love the updates. You are exciting!
