Please do not enhance thin lines, Adobe

Just found a solution for a issue that has been bothering me and many of my friends, for as long as I've known what a vector drawing is.

Since I'm a vector fanatic this is great news.

Ok, here it is:

You know when you open a nice vector drawing in Acrobat and it looks messy with all fat lines, like image no.1, but in your vector software it looked fine, like image no.2

Just go to Edit/Preferences/Page display/ and make sure that enhance thin lines is un-checked. Problem solved forever, but unfortunately only on your machine, i.e. it doesn't apply to the document.

Lund Architecture Symposium finally online

at last I have managed to upload the recordings from Lund Architecture Symposium. I took me three months of crawling through University bureaucracy, but finally...

Hope you enjoy, and keep your eyes open for a sneaky fellow snooping around in most of the videos. He happens to be me

Nat Chard

Just found Nat Chard's blog. A small goldmine for guys like me (I tried to find a way to describe "guys like me" in a humble, objective and maybe unpretentious way for a minute or two now... unsuccessful).
Inspiring and beautiful stuff!

Mechanical Artifact

The end result of the workshop I've been holding at Lund School of Architecture.


Project brief (short version):

The artifact should not be seen as a functional product that solves a problem or is suitable for a specific need. It’s task can be extremely banal or even useless. This statement creates a generative oxymoron as the artifact get a meaningless purpose. 
Instead of focusing on function this task takes aim on material-connetions, interaction, mechanics and kinetics.

RIP Lebbeus Woods

Professor Woods past away this morning...

His memory will live on through his great writings and drawings. A great inspiration for many of us. Rest in peace
