Kaplický vs. Dr. Octopus

Snow snow snow..it´s all about the snow

this xmass time was nearly without snow at our house..but on the last day of this year, everything changed..

me and my young sister decided to create sth from the snow immediately, coz even tomorrow would be late..
when we stacked pile of snow big enough to form sth, we recognized that the pile looked a bit like a model of the future library in prague..so we continued


my sis, showing how much she loves our project...


"play" of light


the octopus looks very comfortable with itself...
but does it like books ?


will the octopus be angry for the horns if it sees this photo with me?


our octopus from my helicopter...


hmmm, where did i see this before....?....

Soulwax - NY excuse

This is the excuse that we´re making..
Is it good enough for what you are paying ?
YOU PAY !!!

this song is actually a killer, but it gives no meaning without the video..
maybe it´s too agitdrop and i don´t think that money spent on milk and flushig our junk are wasted for nothing, but i accept the fact that there is sth wrong with our western philosophy of live...

Louis I. Kahn

Few weeks ago I saw a documentary called My architect. It was filmed by a son of Louis Kahn who tried to follow the soul of the architect in his buildings because he barely knew him by himself.
It was that sort of architect who´s visions were usually too wild for implementing.
However, there are some important buildings he managed to create...


Salk Institute (California)

The seeming geometrical coldness of this complex is in equilibrium with hot sun and small details...

Luis Kahn wore scars from burning his face from his childhood. This fact maybe led him to use raw panels with "cocnrete scars and holes from manufacturing" to build Salk institute..



National Assembly Building, Dhaka (Bangladesh)

Some say this complex brought a cornerstone of democracy to Bangladesh. They have good place to gather and discuss their problems. I think that the local politicians must feel very little there...little like modest citizen...



Phillips Exeter Academy Library

Very interesting transformation of his inspirations in Egyptian architecture to this modern building...



Yale University Art Gallery

inspirational and calming...

The Nightmare Before Christmas

..neighbour´s grass always looks greener...

In this pre-xmas time rush, there needs to be a good mood. This movie brought it to me...

The story about Jack Skellington is trying to tell us that whatever u own or choose to be doing, you should be enjoying it, stick to it and do it with passion and love instead of looking at other´s bussines and be trying to pursue his targets only beacuase you forgot to realise your own happines for a while...

Tim Burton wrote and produced this, so if u have already seen the Corpse Bride and enjoyed it, you ll probably enjoy this movie too.
