emas 1 - where are you right now?

narrative prod: Initially I would like from you all a brief 150-200 word

statement (it can be longer) on 'where you are right now' .

i am looking for a narrative, for honesty and the ability to share ideas,

anxieties, frustrations, confessions and triumphs...in other words in the

immortal phrase 'it's not how good your ideas and projects are right now,

but how good they can be..' . and what is necessary to improve them.

image trigger: this should be accompanied by a single image:

an image that says/singifies something to you, and connects with your own thinking
(at this stage it should not be an image of the intended site or projects)

cognitive review: begin your own way to review your working method, cognitive

approach, intentions and visions etc,. try diagrams, fragments, collage,

image-text mapping.. do not always rely on known architectural notation

and/or drawn/representation methods

dialogue : i am looking for a dialogue between each of you and your work
between each of us in the studio, between each of you and myself. I am also

looking for a a dialogue between our preferences and prejudices and

between each one of you and the/an imaginary client(s)

sufism : in the Sufi way of thinking, we are seeking the 'open secret'
embedded in our own desires and projections -

emas : if you haven't heard the phrase 'same same but different', google it...
it will be our running challenge - our studio motto - to the architecture
we wish or don't wish to see 'out there'
