Minneapolis!
ok, so here is the deal ::: i have a class in which we discuss poetics in architecture. we meet tuesdays and thursdays. our professor was going to be gone this thursday so he said that instead of going to class we should also take the day off and go somewhere in the country and find a poetic building.
*so we did.
five of us from the class teamed up and headed to minneapolis. we started driving wednesday night/thursday morning at 4:00 am. we returned saturday night/sunday morning at 4:00 am. it was fun.
a brief summary includes the following:
_stopping in Des Moines and visiting my roomate kyle's really cool firm
_going to the ridiculous Great Mall of America
_visiting the Walker art center by architects Herzog and de Meuron
_meeting cute french girls at the Walker art Center
_having seafood dinner with friends, including cute french girls
_Fashion show/techno dance at First Avenue also with the frenchies
_after party with models in a crazy loft
_lunch in a cool cafe

10/15/2006 10:14:00 PMi believe, sir, you forgot to document the 30 or so times the car broke down. THAT is what made this trip poetic.
