“When Geometric Diagrams…”

When geometric diagrams and digits
Are no longer the keys to living things,
When people who go about singing and kissing
Know deeper things than the great scholars,
When society is returned once more
To unimprisoned life, and to the universe,
And when light and darkness mate
Once more and make something entirely transparent,
And people see in poems and fairy tales
The true history of the world,
Then our entire twisted nature will turn
And run when a single secret word is spoken.

Novalis/ 1800
translated by Robert Bly in News of the Universe: Poems of Twofold Consciousness

… or how to get around the McMansion ordinance and its hatred towards much needed duplexes and still have cool design.Notice how the articulation makes the building seem to move and how the shared wall and the front are broken up and shifted to prevent a massive look.

Our slideshow is in the front page of Dwell. On the print version, we are in the “Houses we Love” section. Coolness. I love, love Dwell… and they are awesome to deal with, on top of it.


We have the best neighbors, here’s a few pics I took at their house on July 4th, 2009.

Lucia Rodriguez, the incredible, beautiful, sweet, and talented dancer from Austin, Texas who died tragically by driving into the lake when her car reached the ramp at the end of Quinlan road. This ramp lacks proper signage or proper lighting. A terrible loss of a wonderful artist for all of us. Please join us in asking the City of Austin to make changes to this road (and other similar roads who end in the lake with no sufficient lighting or warning…) so no one has another senseless accident.
