قميص يوسف ....

في ظلمات جب ذات مساء..

تحت نور القمر..

أخوه للجب نظر..

به ..غدر..

يوسف.. ينتظر..

أخذوا يوسف..

تركوا يوسف..

فكان بشرى لمن عبر...

يبكي أبوه..

وبلا يأس ينتظر..

عل صباحا.. يأتي..

يحمل عنه أي خبر..

بجميل صبر .. ينتظر..

أمات يوسف.. أحتضر؟؟

ألذئب أكله أم ذئبٌ بشر؟؟

لا .. ما مات يوسف..

والصباح يأتي بالبشر..

طال انتظار..

ما عاد يوسف ..ما حضر ..

وذات يوم ..

وفي المساء..

كان قميص .. يحمل الخبر..

يحمل بشرى ... وليعقوب البصر..

وكان لقاء..

كما تلقى النجوم القمر..

بهالة حب ...

شوق..

وقلب ذات يوم اسر ..

.............................

بشوق يعقوب..

بحب يملأ القلب دموعا وعبر..

وبعين ابيضت من طول

صبر..ترجو خبر..

انتظرك نورا ...

يحمله قميصك ...

كقميص يوسف..

يعيد لي البصر ...

Rem Koolhaas in Amman...

Yesterday I went to meet one of the living godfathers of the 20th century architecture… I went to a discussion session by [Rem Koolhaas]…
It was so exciting for me to meet him… I love his work… his ideas and his books…
Though I got disappointed from the lack of proper preparation by the organizers… I ended up in a room where I had to listen to his lecture on a projection screen… showing his presentation and his voice only… and the whole event was poorly advertised...
Anyways it was a good lecture… later on the discussion session started and I was able to see him…
I should say that the lecture was too quite for my taste and unlike him; he wasn’t neither pleasantly aggressive nor very critic… =)

My notes from the lecture…

System of Overdose
Party at the staircase
City of excess
Rotating a building
Creating icons
Power / regime / image of the city
Genuineness of materials
A plane with holes
Flexible model
Surprise / eternal buildings
Over dose of theatrical buildings
Women potentially talented as men
Ghastly features of practicing architecture
Superficiality
Dubai: theater for self hatred
Use it and then ridicule it
Study the program
Creativity

OMA: Office of Metropolitan Architecture

Rem Koolhaas

YES: a new map of the world

AMO's proposed flag to the European Union

project in Dubai : rotating building

CCTV Building in China: under construction

an afternoon on a swing

Yesterday I went with my little cousins to Huessien Parks in Amman...
I must say that it was a very lovely afternoon... for a couple of hours I was a kid again... I ran... sang... climbed... walked like an army man... acted... laughed... and most importantly played on the swing...

another obsession of mine is with the swing... that I did my graduation project around swings...



and on a lovely July afternoon... my memories took me to the last time I was on a swing... I was with my best friend... and we had a good time though I was the only to play on the swing... =)

been... seen...

coffee cups...

for the first....

sweet blue rain.... never ceased ever since...
