WELCOME

Roving notes made at the pace of an exciting journey, narrative logbook of emotions and senses, walking between architectural spaces bathed in light, surrounded by landscape, or creating landscape.

As in a moleskine -that notebook where travelers compiled writings and drawings of their visits- this blog offers you, gentle reader, my own collection and my personal experience about visited sites in the recent years.

This is a compilation of visited places, it is my attempt to share an unforgettable experience with you.

Welcome to My Architectural Moleskine, notes on architecture... and more.

  6. Dear Carlos,

    I work at the British Museum in the membership department. We recently filmed a lecture given by the museum's head of Americas curator, Colin McEwan, in which he used one of your photographs: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0XsQeUu1tE/Ros69cVGYMI/AAAAAAAACqA/9GqJ1ecBXcY/s1600-h/mountains.jpg
    I would like to ask your permission to use this image in our video publication. If you are so kind as to give us permission, please could you email me at friends@britishmuseum.org to give us an appropriate credit line and to discuss this further.
    Many thanks,

  14. Hello Carlos.

    I'm writing from a company in the UK called Centre Screen Productions. We are producing content for the new Olympic Museum in Lausanne and I was interested to find some great images on the Vancouver Winter Olympics on your blog - particularly the Richmond Oval.
    I was wondering if you could grant permission for us to use some of these in an interactive exhibit that looks at sustainability.

    I'd be interested to speak to you regarding any other images you might have or any construction diagrams that we could use to demonstrate sustainability at the Olympic Games?

    Please would you email me on laura@centrescreen.co.uk to discuss. Al images will be credited of course!

    Best wishes, Laura
