12, 22, and 26 for the question game! :)

HI HELLO CHARLIE :D!!!!!

12. I have three:

The Smithsonian in Washington DC (I wanna get my grubby little hands on the hope diamond sooooo badly I wanna eat it….10 year old me’s special interest forever…..if cursed then why so pretty…..)

The Hundertwasser Haus in Vienna, Austria. Let me IN, it’s SUCH a gorgeous house. I went to Europe with my school in March and the house was so pretty. But they’re actual apartments, so we couldn’t go insane, but MAN do I want to see the interior.

Finally, Jewel Cave in South Dakota. I went there a few years ago and we took a tour throughout the place, and I LOVED it.

At one point the guide turned off all the lights and we were in pure silence and darkness, and I felt like i was in the stomach, in the intestines, being digested by the cave, as I could hear the wind, as if the cave were breathing, until some LITTLE KID STOMPED HIS LIGHT UP SKETCHERS. I COULD HAVE CRIED.

So I want to back to jewel cave but this time with hoodie so I won’t be cold and preferably without any little boys with annoying shoes.

22. That is such a hard question, so I think I’m going to have to answer completely materialistically, because if I thought to hard about nostalgia and other things, I’d cry and also never answer the question.

I’m going to say my Haley Heynderick CD. I’m so glad I bought it and that I have something tangible in possession that’s more mine then my Spotify account. Either that or my literal CD player. Love you tangible media 🫶🫶🫶

26. Honestly? Really tired and a bit burnt out. Still vibing though. I’m going to try and do some more art things after I’m finished with my puzzle. Maybe I’ll finally stop doing OC stuff and do the actual cast ideas I’ve had for a while lol. Who knows though. Maybe I’ll finally do some murdle fanart :))

The Hundertwasser House in Magdeburg, also known as the "Green Citadel", is the last completed project by artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. His goal was to bring architecture, people and nature into harmony. For this reason, the Hundertwasser House features trees, so-called "tree tenants" and flower meadows on the roofs and ramps. The individually and creatively designed building in Magdeburg houses a hotel, a kindergarten, flats, medical centres and offices. The inner courtyards invite visitors to stroll and linger with shops and cafés. The Green Citadel also has its own theatre, which can seat up to 250 guests. It is the only theatre in the world that is located in a Hundertwasser building. The premises can also be used for cultural events, seminars, conferences, exhibitions and celebrations

all this talk about how the horses and cottage living pack could have been one got me thinking about the idea of two world packs..

imagine ea put quality over quantity (hard to imagine ik) and for each pack made two worlds and explored it's concept fully. like a music pack that had a seoul type world and a focus on the pop/rock star career and a vienna type world that focused on an opera/orchestra career. for example the seoul world could have two main neighbourhoods, high end buildings with offices and dance studios and a downton with diy punk venues and small apartments. the vienna world could have a big music school, theatre and hundertwasser house style apartments. making sure each concept (music, farming, family etc) is explored fully with different settings instead of relying on half developed ideas and crunch

Sometimes I feel completely insignificant in this big art world, that even if I sit down and shrink, no one seems to notice that I was here. Once in high school, I won a scientific environmental project in Moscow at the House of Scientists. From that moment on, I fell in love with Huedertwasser, and even after learning about his crazy antics, I did not change my mind. I live today, but maybe tomorrow will never come?! How do you think?

Architectural Masters Shaping Vienna's Narrative

In the heart of Vienna's architectural landscape lies a tapestry woven with the threads of innovation, irony, and eco-consciousness, spun by the hands of visionary masters who dared to challenge convention.

At the helm stands Gustav Peichl, a maestro of both structure and satire. His journey, intertwined with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, saw him sketching blueprints by day and caricatures by night, navigating the complexities of identity amidst the shadows of wartime occupation. Peichl's architectural legacy, epitomized by the EFA Radio Satellite Station, echoes his wit and wisdom, transcending mere mortar and steel.

Beside him strides Hans Hollein, a pioneer of postmodern architecture, whose canvas extended beyond mere buildings to encompass the very essence of urban landscapes. With his iconic aircraft carrier collage, Hollein redefined the boundaries of architectural expression, blurring the lines between industrial prowess and artistic vision. His legacy, etched in landmarks like the Haas House, continues to shape Vienna's skyline with audacious strokes of innovation.

Lebbeus Woods, an architect of the avant-garde, lends a philosophical hue to Vienna's architectural narrative. His visionary projects, steeped in the ethos of crisis and possibility, beckon us to reimagine the cityscape as a living, breathing entity, responsive to the ebbs and flows of human existence. Through Woods's lens, Vienna becomes a stage for architectural experimentation, where the boundaries of convention dissolve in the face of boundless imagination.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser, with his vibrant hues and organic forms, infuses Vienna's architecture with a touch of whimsy and eco-consciousness. From the iconic Hundertwasserhaus to the Spittelau waste incineration plant, his designs defy the straight line and embrace the vibrant pulse of nature, reminding us that beauty lies in harmony with the environment.

Yet amidst the cacophony of creativity, the city bears the weight of its past, embodied in the stark silhouette of Flak Towers. These concrete behemoths, relics of wartime fortifications, stand as monuments to resilience and remembrance, casting a shadow over Vienna's architectural landscape.

As Vienna stands on the precipice of transformation, these architectural luminaries converge to inspire dialogue and action. From Peichl's irony to Hollein's innovation, from Woods's philosophy to Hundertwasser's eclecticism, each voice adds a layer to the symphony of architectural enlightenment.

And so, as the Fabrication Gap symposium beckons, Vienna prepares to embrace the future with open arms, weaving together the threads of tradition and innovation to shape a collective vision of architectural excellence and sustainability. In this crucible of creativity, the city's narrative unfolds, a testament to the enduring spirit of architectural ingenuity and collective endeavour.
