• 21.03.05 Spring Time

  The very first weekend of spring we got a perfect weather.
  Sunny, warm and flowers popping up everywhere.
  We had a nice walk by the Naviglio (the only Milano’s canal), where once a month there is an antique’s market on the street.

  

• 02.02.05 Paris… finalement!

  After almost 30 years of life, 10 years of study and practice of architecture and 5 years living in Europe, I finally went to Paris.
  At the university I studied from the Haussmann plan (1853-1870) up until contemporary architecture. Every time I flew to Sao Paulo or Caracas with Air France I could see the city’s plan through the airplane window.
  I was becoming a virtual Paris fan…
  My impressions?
  Champs Elysee is really something, L’Arc de Triomphe is really magnificent, la Tour Eiffel is really beautiful, the Louvre is really amazing, The Mona Lisa really has an intriguing smile, the original croissant is really delicious, so… Paris is really one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

  Last night it finally snowed in Milano for the first time in the 2004/2005 winter. Usually it does not snow and it will probably be the last time this season…

  

• 17.01.05 Clark Terry

  

  Yesterday we went to see the trumpeter Clark Terry at the Blue Note Milano.
  He was fantastic with his trumpet and flugelhorn, but it was really inspiring when he actually sang!
  Also David Glasser’s alto saxophone was quite impressive.

• 15.01.05 Vals

  In the middle of the Swiss Alps, 4:30 hours by car from Milano, you’ll find one of Peter Zumthor’s most famous work: Vals Therme. Last week we spend two wonderful and relaxing days switching from, saunas, to 32C pool, to 32C with rose scent, to 42C and red walls, to 36C open-air (-2C and snowed) pool. Not to mention the fine architecture, concept, details, materials, colours and textures, it is a magical place to stimulate all 5 senses, while enjoying the pleasure of a hot water during the winter.
