Yikes! More than a year has past since my last post... and considering the title I didn't visit dev that much at that time... *

As a friend pointed me, I might post some new stuff up here... and since I just came back from a 19 day trip with my brother through Cuba today (Santiago de Cuba, El Salton, Bayamo, Camaguey, Remedios, Santa Clara, Trinidad (not recommended, imho), Cienfuegos, Valle de Viñales and, of course, la Habana), I have some pics to post.

Since there is a lot to sort out first (crap, fun shots, architectural details (one of my interests), it might take a while to get the *best* (double cough) up here.
Anyways, first one posted ^^

Cheers!


*I'm wondering who is still watching me - alas, we'll see I'll try to catch up on my watchies, witch will be very hard... hehe

After two weeks at the office (which was quite dull ), I went back to the scene where it all happens: the Professor Tulpstraat in Amsterdam. What I especially like are the traces that are left by former users and inhabitants. Not only old constructions and parts of fronts became visible while stripping the interior, you also find stuff and things that people left behind, such as a copy machine from 1980, old chairs and sofa's from the 60s, different layers of wall paper from all era's... on top of this journal you find a small collage of stuff i found, at the background some old parts of wall paper, and on top some kind of business cards from a barber shop that was located in the Amstel Hotel (i would date those from the 30s), which i found underneath some old floors in one of the appartments.

I posted a first pic in my scraps, I'll try to upload some more, so you guys get an impressions what I do nowadays (for those who are interested and I am not that much online to view all your works recently (unfortunaly)

Well, time to get the happy new year wishes from this place...

I haven't been around much lately, due to school exams and a school project that had to be finished for wednesday (plus a presentation of the whole project...) - and now you people filled up my message centre again (thanks for doing that ) - I will go through it, but - of course - I can't comment on each piece...

Anyways - I have finally found a work placement for my study ! I will start on January 31 with a restoration project in Amsterdam at the Professor Tulpstraat, just behind the Amstel Hotel (see pic). The main building in this row was in use as a stable for the hotel guests, but for the past hundred years they were in use as housing and offices.

The project also includes some new development (reconstruction of two demolished houses) and renovation, so all kinds of work are included. After all, it still is meant as a small introduction to get an idea of what I might do after my study

Well, I'm looking forward to start
