Research blog >< Canadian Centre for Architecture

I kept a research blog on my activities at the Canadian Centre for Architecture where I was a visiting scholar in the spring of 2009. You can access it here. It is all work in progress…

Upcoming: research period at The Canadian Centre for Architecture

I am very happy to be able to spend time at The Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal this spring. I was granted a research stipend at their Research Centre and Visiting Scholars Program. The CCA has an amazing collection of architectural information, architectural toys and construction toys. I will be working on new media and architecture, with a special focus on SketchUp, analogue construction toys and Google Earth.
