“Al Juma’a”

Muslims have adopted the practice of taking Friday as their official weekly holiday. Each culture and religion has its weekly day of rest. God distinguished Friday and chose it particularly for Muslims. Thus, a complete soura is dedicated to this day and it bears the name “Al Juma’a” (Friday). This day has various pleasant qualities, the most important of which are cleanliness of the body and clothes and attending the Friday prayer which is distinguished from the prayers of other days, because it is carried out in groups. Due to the importance of Friday, there are preparations to be made the day before. Muslims pray a lot and recite the Koran on Thursdays. They also refrain from idle leisure and activities that distract them from worshipping.

THANKS VINNY FROM GOTHENBURG

for making me do something on the blog, though since we've not been here for 4 months or so I cant imagine anyone is looking....

Vinny is a fellow who likes good motorcycles and ergo good design - if you need a carpenter in Gothenburg contact him through his blog...magnetozoo

Village #2

The Angel Killer lives at House #2. KV Shepherd will not say any more on the subject.

The Image on the header

comes from our CGI wizard Kevin Vucic Shepherd. This was what we hope is the first of many ... we are waiting to see one of a set of buildings in Bedford Square [no prizes for guessing which].

Venn diagrams

A few years ago we composed a venn diagram to try to identify what we are. We didn't use it for more than a brief period but its still there and has some relevance to us - whether it was relevant or of any use to anyone else was not certain..

ARTIST NOT IN RESIDENCE

Caspar Hall is a great painter who works in the next door space to our office - currently he is somewhere in the Middle East - doing strange things in dangerous conditions [so we hear].

The Village #1

K Vucic Shepherd is our CGI elf. We dont think he sleeps and in his downtime he is creating The Village, pieces of which we hope to show you as they come into the world. Suggestions welcomed for naming this village.

House 1 you see above belongs to Von Babel, a man inspired by Seymour Cray, who apart from playing tennis and other above ground pleasures, his 'favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he once attributed the secret of his success to elves. "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."'

GURU #1

MARK PRIZEMAN... hopefully not the last adventurer of architecture...still teaching us after 20 years.
