Architects, let's go to the street!

And so it is one day, the Office, decided to go for a walk. The propositions, ideas, thoughts... crossed the walls and take its place in unexpected places, below a light cover and under the curious eyes of the public, surprised for the performance and also the fact to interact with the people inventing there. It was an alive workshop, which an open participation in the heart of Copenhagen. It was such a nice day, that it was not only working developements which happened, if not interaction with people and good time with sunny beers.

The thing is the experiment kept itself for two nice days, better the first one than the second also because of the weather, in which Copenhagen people discover how young architects speak and work together. It was a “breath” time: also bad moments, like long times in office with a deadline, went away for some hours...

It's also funny to enjoy a remarkable day acting like a tourist in the place you live, take a canal ship to look the city with other eyes, also visiting the city museum and finishing enjoying evening and night in the most popular students' discotheque... It happened in Christmas dinner in Delft, where close to 100 people share their day in such a wonderful experience.

For a day the contemporary architecture was left in the office, gaining importance the conversations about the next Christmas holydays and expectations of each one, till it was so difficult also to speak, not only cause of being tired, if not cause wine and beer cheering moments.

A hockey match, Vienna Capitals... All together, to enjoy the opening and the first “spiel”, sit down between the public, happy cause we feel part of the building. The “Eissporthalle” is again open after an extention, just small works in the “halle 3” to do. Beers and soletti to taste the moment. New experience, cause it's real in Spain we're so good in Parquet Hockey, over ice that's not even exists... American way, loud speakers with entertainment music. Curiously the best moment was the one in which we could enjoy the scratch of the skates over the ice, when everybody was suddenly shut up, even the music. There was an extra time and, at the end, the Capitals won the first one.

And in our faces, the smile, realizing that after many working hours in front of red, cyan and green lines over a black or gray screen, these ones turn real and keep not only the shout of happy fans, also of our grateful minds.
