Ciao,
Well the first project came and went. I was pleased with this project. I think it was one of the best renderings I have ever done which was in part to the beautiful paper we used which had a very nice texture. Europe doesn't have your standard 8 1/2 x 11 or 11x17. They got A2, A3, A4 and so on, which is actually a bit more efficient since the ratios match up exactly. It was hard to get used to at first. But Vyt explained it to us and got us.. even.. more.. confused..... but ANYWAYY!!!
The light tables seemed to be the preferred nap spot for those who's eyes began to get heavy in the middle of drawing. Luckily I didn't fall victim to this tempting slumber. It was a different experience staying up all night in Rome though. And I was able to partake in a traditional Italian breakfast. It's a lot different than pulling an all nighter then going to the Pryz where you're welcomed with egg soup, a piece of charcoal with butter on it, and watered down orange drank. I however had the 3 C's to start of every Italian's morning: Corneto, Cappuccino and Cigarette. Not necessarily the breakfast of Champions but it definitely gives you a jump start to your morning.
After finishing some diagrams I ran back to my room after dodging two Vespas and climbing the 147 stairs that leads to our penthouse suite. Took a 2 hour nap. Then got myself all fixed up in the most modern Euro clothing I had.
And after all that I'm happy to say that Jury was painless. Which is a rarity amongst us CUArchitects.
Ciao
Fino alla prossima volta
