2000 lightyears from home

"wie seltsam glimmert durch die Gründe
ein morgenrötlich trüber Schein!
Und selbst bis in die tiefen Schlünde
des Abgrunds wittert er hinein"

(Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Faust I, Walpurgisnacht )




hi gordana,
today my proposal for the pool of the youngest looked like this.
i just wanted to design like nature 1000 meters below zero in the sea.
they thought, it was a joke. i found it quite funny, nevertheless
there is no sense of humour in the world of architecture.....

hope you are fine.

Published here with the kind permission of Thomas Wirsing, architect.

Thomas is currently working in Vienna, on a public swimming pools project. He is one of the most brilliant creative minds I know, and finding his comment ironically funny, and his design high minded and beautiful, I asked his permission to publish his recent email to me, with the “rejected” concept for a children’s swimming pool.
Thomas, together with Sabine Wolf, has published an article in ArtSEEN journal, issue 2, summer 06, which can be read on www.undo.net (Italian and English)
