from one craziness to another: deciphering ota ward maps in tokyo whilst in lower manhattan is weighty stuff. i suppose i should feel privileged, not being under joe lim's breath now - although the internet allows studio stress to traverse great distances with great fidelity (audio and verbal haha).
auy! the rain and winds in nyc haven't been kind! they would qualify as a cat A storm in Singapore terms - when your umbrella is as good as useless - you know its rain at a whole nother level.
still eager to get out and see the city. meanwhile i'm contented working on my japan studies, uni applications (WHAT A PAIN) whilst having WTC outside the window. Its surreal watching news coverage about ongoing excavations at ground zero and then looking out the window to say, yep there they are alright.
Meanwhile, steel frame skyscraper construction has been delivered right outside the window for my perusal. i can see how metal decking is really being bolted to steel beams right now some 5 feet from my window. its a lot more primitive than i was expecting - or should i say, those construction diagrams in the texts - really as far as construction needs to get.
