Yesterday we went to Milano to see the Bocconi Campus building by Grafton Architects. Spectacular spaces

I am here in Como with all of my luggage, after traveling to Rome and Florence. Monday starts our first lecture in Villa Olmo, where our studio is as well. We are currently watching the Super Bowl in Italian (without commercials).

Montepulciano, Pienza, San Gimignano

Florence has a small-town feel to it, in stark comparison to the New York mentality of Rome. Most people walk, some ride bikes or scooters and very few drive cars. Brunelleschi's Dome can be seen from almost any point in town and acts as the primary reference point for the city grid. Our class consists of a lecture, but instead of a powerpoint, we walk around Florence and interact with the landscape, drawing and taking notes, instead of viewing slides on a screen.
