Michelle: I love you MoMA
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-love-you-moma.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. I love you MoMA. On our visit to New York City in 2009, we visited MoMA. It was only a quick visit as we were leaving that day, but we got to see what we wanted. Except for the Tim Burton Exhibition, but we later got to see that when it visited Melbourne. These are some of our highlights. Of course we shouldn't expect anything less than tremendously long lines at MoMA, even during Winter. But one can always rely on a trusty sister to have pre-bought tickets to skip the queue.

Michelle: A plastic architect.
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2011/03/plastic-architect.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. I always loved Barbie dolls as a child. That tall, blonde, skinny lady with the "perfect" body and perfect teeth that continued to smile at you even if your mother had cut her hair off because she thought it was causing allergic reactions in her daughter. Oh the good childhood days when I dreamed of being a vet, a school teacher and a doctor! I am none of those things today. When I first saw images of Architect Barbie, my reaction was "Oh my God! I must say the pink drawing tube...

Michelle: March 2011
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. One sunny morning last year I visited Castlecrag. Castlecrag is over the bridge in North Sydney and is the location of many of Walter Burley Griffin's homes that he and his wife, Marion Mahony (a very talented architect, who could draw amazingly! The ACT was designed by a number of architects hiding behind Griffin's name. Since when do architects let another take all their credit? Griffin's original plan for the ACT. The marriage of the natural landscape and building. Of my degree...

Michelle: May 2010
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 15, 2010. I like what you say. All around the world, people. Have a lot of feelings and seem to want to display them for all to see, particularly on walls. The key to life is communication and if architecture can be a means of getting things across, then the world will be all the better for it. This is a journey of things said; the good, bad, creative and funny. Do not be afraid". Do not be superficial". Saturday, May 1, 2010. Man vs. Nature.

Michelle: Three things I learned in Architecture school
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2011/02/three-things-i-learned-in-architecture.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. Three things I learned in Architecture school. The things learned in school are not always the things taught. Some things are learned explicitly. They are taught, drawn, explained, diagrammed, represented. Other things are less explicit. They are not said but can be observed, realised, read, imagined, abstracted, or even be thrust upon you as if it were a sign from above. Firstly, beauty is not the goal of the architecture, only the result. I read that somewhere.

Michelle: Guts and holy places
http://michelleytown.blogspot.com/2011/03/blog-post.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Guts and holy places. For the last semester ever. Of my degree, my fellow students and I each had to design an anatomy theatre. The site was located in Prague. It was an unconsecrated church that they now use for concerts and other pagan things. Anyway, to design a space for cutting up dead people in a church was really interesting, as you could probably imagine. I discovered I could embed my online portfolio onto blogspot, so here it is.
