Médecins Sans Frontières

I´m a fan of Doctors without Borders - Médecins Sans Frontières - you should be too. It is one of the organizations I´ve supported the longest on a regular basisAnd I am actually thinking of joining the force - contribute with my expertise. 

A lecture was given last week at uni regarding the work of MSF, this engineer came to persuade us to become crew members of the organization - although engineers are perhaps more suitable as the helping hand, and more needed I believe, than architects. But then again, it has always been this dream of mine doing field work, for MSF. Although me not becoming a doctor has, in one small sense, substantially made it harder for me to witness that dream come true - I will not make it stand in the way of my depictured life. I will work for MSF

Or I´ll just join Architects without Borders - their meeting is on wednesday...

Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor.





Sustainable development. We say the words when talking about saving the world from its rapid deterioration, its high-speed course towards its rupture point, but do not actually address the real meaning of it. What is sustainable development? Environmental, economical and/or social? What´s the core of our problems? - our behavior, most undoubtably. The notion of a sustainable world has stimulated a worldwide debate on the future of our cities and our lives. After years of overwhelming discussions at uni, exchanging dialogues, collecting facts, listening to lecturers, tapping into other disciplines, researching, studying urban and city planning, designing objects - the one thing on my mind, is the house next door

Where our neighbors at?

Relocating myself

The soundtrack that will tag along, be my companion in the meeting of this new city of mine (I´m moving to another part of the world), consists of 25 carefully selected songs. New peeps, new habits, new responsibilities awaits. Enjoy!
