*Personal Note: Interview about myself on Korean Design Magazine....

Here's the link....

I have an interview for Korean Design Magazine - archiclub.co.kr ; very interesting but mostly, it's about CG (computer graphics) and it also contain my design background and idea....

Thank God, they also put it in english...otherwise I could'nt understand what's inside!! ;-)

Oops!! : Architects are the most miserable professionals, according to a new survey

HAIRDRESSERS are the happiest employees while social workers and architects are the most miserable professionals, according to a new survey

EXCERPT from Scotsman.com (click here for full news)


Architect Richard Murphy, who runs his own firm in Edinburgh, said: "I myself am actually very happy and I think I can speak for my staff too, though as a profession it is hopelessly paid.

"Architects do suffer massive frustrations as the years go by and they are always having battles with such bodies as Historic Scotland as well as all the planning hoops you have to jump through.

"A lot of graduates study architecture at university without really realising what they are signing up to later in life. Being an architect is much more of a calling than a profession."

MORE AGONY THAN ECSTASY

1 Hairdressers - 40% happy
2 Clergy - 24%
3 Chefs/cooks - 23%
4 Beauticians - 22%
5 Plumbers - 20%

16 Scientists/R&D - 15%
17 Butchers - 14%
18 DJs - 13%

DESIGN : Re-Creating New Product

Now, instead try to invent a new thing...it is possible to re-create the product that already there and 'proven' . We do love LEGO, but at the sametime it lost the aura...we don't feel any 'rush' to get a LEGO, maybe simply because we know that LEGO will always there in the toy store...while LEGO trying hard to offer a new package that suit certain market (star wars etc)- someone develop it to suit what market rave about...an IPOD inspired LEGO, and there are also Steve Jobs LEGO!! (I don't really care about that....wait until they offer me Anna Nicole series...)

Let's think about it...

What other thing than LEGO & IPOD that we could re-create it?
Here's the concept: Merge two great product into one. Lego act as strong foundation, it has a solid ground and proven product but at the same time loosing it's edge; Ipod is totally a fad with no (sorry Apple lovers...) strong foundation, it has a great extension possibilities (look at their accessories!!) . Now, combining those two product will create a better strong product (well, not at that stage in case of Podbrix)...
..you also can figure it out from SONY-ERICSSON team...BALLY-MERCEDEZ BENZ...

DESIGN : From Book; Architectural Theory

Architects are artists;

their medium is called imagination. Yet whereas the painter simulates a new world, the architect intervenes in the real one, thereby establishing new realities.

All architectural designs contain a kind of utopian core; they renounce what is, in favor of what will or should be.

That said, the blueprint for the future must coexist with present reality;

Today is my Zero Kilometer.... ;-)
