Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. This is a project of the Science Park in Granada. The park starts with the construction of a single roof with small inflections that looks like an open hand, covering the different programmatic pieces interconnected on a continuous space. The proposed spatial structure allows for a big flexibility of uses and situations that interconnect circulations and themes.

The colour of the 3-miles beach is called Pink Sands in the Bahamas. The beach is pink because of the red coral in the area.

A good friend of mine sent along this great song by Julieta Venegas, a rising songstress from Mexico, called "Oleada" a few months back that I loved initially for superficial reasons: I love the melody, and he said the song/video reminded him of me. The melody is fantastic, but I was too lazy to translate the Spanish; and I assumed the video reminded him of me because it has a pug in it that looks just like mine.

I knew I was going to get behind on my blogging after the last couple of weeks I've had. I'm going to try to update you in pieces so as to not overwhelm you all and my poor carpals. Italy was about 2 weeks ago, though it seems like months. We arrived in Rome and about 3 minutes ride from the airport, saw the Colosseum, lit up in all its glory in the night sky. Was a really big deal. We were definitely pumped to check it out the next day. Got settled into our hotel and went for some food.

The trauma of flying, long queues, missing-and-found, luggage, missed connections and a prolonged interrogation at the last hurdle all rolled into one on my long journey to Port of Spain, but more about that later. I’m here! How is it that—after 20-odd hours spent in transit—it’s impossible to go to sleep? I sat on the balcony, stupidly gazing at palm trees and at what looked like a Dutch colonial building across the street where cars were zooming along long after midnight, sipping coke and duty free Barbadian rum and pondering how it was that I woke up at 6 a.m.
