the week so far...
4:37 PM
guess we've all pretty much settled into the pace of things here... monday marked the start of week 2... with classes as per normal... on monday class starts at 2pm. i decided to blade to school just to get some life juice in... and yea well it wasnt that bad, just that 1 it was a bloody hot day and 2 it wasnt that near... like 50mins in total... but nevertheless some distance is good! after all blading gives u toned asses right? just glad i arrived on time and more importantly injury-free.

ah - here are some photos taken during class.

on tuesday we had a site visit to this place called val d'europe.. its like this new plot of land in the midst of development.. its for our urban module, we're studying how the buildings are planned out in that new district... its quite interesting tho, to know that prolly 2 years ago nothing was here, and now this whole town is built above the high speed train TGV line, with the shopping arcade cutting across, above the train line which heads toward disneyland (just 1 more stop from here)

first up are some pics of us on the RER train line, on the way there!

in the evening we headed out to this place called La Defense, its the CBD area of paris... with all the super glazed skyscrapers... yea... this was another site visit.. for our main design module.... but i had missed out on visiting this place the previous times i was here... so its not too bad a deal! its pretty interesting too, the way the whole plot is conceived...
