City Thinking: Layers of the City.Doors, Keys, Dreams, Cities
January 25, 2016
This was written in 2012 when I was studying for a Masters at Goldsmiths University of London, in Design Critical Practice. I got a gig job working on exhibitions and my studies had a habit of making me see anything I was doing at that time through a certain lens.

Directionality
January 21, 2016
This post is from the archive. It was written in 2012 when I was lucky enough to have a lot of time to think deeply about many things due to studying a masters in Design - Critical Practice at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Notes from Reading Simulation and Simulacrum by Jean Baudrillard
December 17, 2015
Simulation and Simulacrum is a philosophy book written in 1981 where Baudrillard aims to explore the relationship between reality, symbols and society. Recent technology has allowed us to copy texts and other things over and over calling into question even more which is the original and the copy, where is the value and the meaning. An obvious other example is the emergence of virtual reality which allows the illusion of the world just by putting a headset on.
