Yesterday was an awesome and very interesting day, spend in Brisbane. All the first year Architects went there for "Introduction to Architecture", to have a look at a couple of different buildings and visit two architectural firms.

We went to the Powerhouse, which used to be exactly that, but then when they stoped using it, instead of destroying it, they turned it into a performance center. Such a cool building, because they have kept so much of its history and its an awesome feeling to be inside.

After the Powerhouse we went into the city and visited APA (Architectural Practice Academy). Which is a architectural firm that only takes newly graduates. Every year they take 6 new graduates who stay for 2 years, so in total they are 12 Graduates there. Its a way of helping new architects getting into the industry.

After that interesting visit we went for a walk around CBD and looked at a couple of different buildings. One of the places we visited, and probably my favorite was the GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art). It was so much fun and very interesting, and FOR FREE :)

My two favorites from GOMA were The Michael Jackson room and the LEGO room. The MJ room was a totally black room with 16 screens. On the screens were 16 very different people all singing MJ songs. They had obviously been having MJ songs on really loud and they were all singing and some were dancing, but when you got to hear it, all you heard was these 16 people singing, without any music. It was a pretty cool and fun experience, to see how different people interpretate the same song.

When it came to the LEGO room, I just never wanted to leave. I spend most of the day with my Swedish friends Pontus and Peter, and they did not want to leave either, at one point we were considering missing the bus :)

It was a looooong table, with heaps and heaps of white lego, in the middle were all these buildings that different people had created and you could just sit down and start creating. I know my birthday are a few months away, but I really really would like some WHITE LEGO :D And a better camera would be good too :)

Last but not least we went to Hassel, whcih is a huge Architectural firm, actually thay have a bit of everything, they have architects, landscapers, interior designers, planners and urban designers. I would have ABSOLUTELY LOVED working there. They evey have a modelling room! A big room with just heaps of things to create your own modell :)
