Dug out my large sketchbook, found some more marker practice sketches! I love the waterside scene in the first photo. I think I'll redraw it 🤔

Quote
I’m actually, by nature, not that patient or not that painstaking. I mean, I love order, because my head is so messy.
British Architect John Pawson 
I completely relate to this, I try to keep things simple as possible because my brain is a mess half the time and the sense of order makes it possible to work, I never saw minimalism as stark and cold, but calm and reflective.

Calling his legacy disputed might be an understatement: Sir Basil Spence (1907-76), in the 1950s and 1960s one of Britain’s most widely known architects. With his win of the Coventry Cathedral competition Spence shortly after WWII hit the limelight and designed a well-received icon of postwar architecture in Britain. But while Coventry Cathedral won him almost unanimous praise his housing projects very much ruined his reputation: the Hyde Park Cavalry Barracks (1959-70) or the Queen Anne’s Gate (1976) office building were fiercely criticized for their lack of sensibility and regard for its residents. That this 1970s criticism is less than half the story of Spence’s career demonstrates the present monograph: „Basil Spence: Buildings and Projects“, edited by Louise Campbell, Miles Glendinning & Jane Thomas and published by RIBA Publishing in 2012. The book, as its title indicates, offers a complete overview of Spence’s career from his beginnings as student at Edinburgh College of Art, his assistance to Edwin Lutyens in 1929/30, his first modernist works in the 1930s up until his disputed late work. In between one can find numerous examples of Spence also being a sensible designer who was well able to respect context: his Rome Embassy (1961-71) e.g. reacted very sensibly to the adjacent Porta Pia and it is this ambivalence between sensibility and brutality, large and small scale as well as Arts and Crafts and high-tech that rings throughout the book. Drawing on Spence’s entire archive the authors gather drawings, plans and photos of buildings and projects that underline the immense variety of the architect’s practice but also its paradoxes. Spence never fully embraced just one „style“, instead regionalism, high-tech, brutalism and hints of Arts and Crafts coexist and surely contributed to his „in-between“ position in British architecture.
Through its rich material base „Basil Spence: Buildings and Projects“ not only provides an all-encompassing account of the architect’s work but also a starting point for further ventures into his complex career. Warmly recommended!

I think instead of writing a to do list every morning, I'll write a list of ‘what I did’ every night. *slams hands on the table* So
Woke up early
Worked out (my body felt stiffer than a stone)
Went to college to cancel my admission there (it's actually the best clg in town but hey, long story... *invalid piece of information* I'm a goner for its architecture)
Started practicing a bit of French A1 for my exams coming up in Sept
While I do hope to be more productive than this tomorrow, I'll be happy even if I'm able to maintain this basic routine. Given how I've been fucking up my lifestyle since so many months, today did feel nice even though it doesn't seem productive.
