Potsdam on a beautiful Sunday

Rode the train to Potsdam this Sunday. Perfect weather. 72 degrees and not a could in the sky. I was in a bad mood from the night before. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I rode my bike to the main park, locked it up and walked around. Sat in the sun for a couple hours and made some drawings. That made me content and put me in a great mood. 

Took a bunch of pictures like these. I've posted a new Picasa album here. 

Trying to figure out how to do some Illustrator drawings. As you might guess, I'm getting a little stir crazy, design-wise. All I do everyday is layout and editing work and while it can be fun and challenging I am really starting to miss design problems.

Long time, no post.

OK, I promised myself I would post more here. I haven't. Instead I've been posting things to my tumblr page. If you haven't seen it, it is here. 


Partially, I have been sick as a dog unfortunately. I also suddenly "acquired" TMJ. Now I'm going to see a German physical therapist who massages my face and jaw for 30 mins twice a week. Jaw still hurts every time I eat but it is getting better. Hopefully it'll be fixed by the time my six sessions are up. 


I also haven't been out to architecture too much lately, nor have I had time to do any of my own work. I did go look at a Schinkel Mausoleum the other day located in the garden of Schloß Charlottenburg. Unfortunately, it was covered in scaffolding so now pictures or sketches. Going to try and get to Pottsdam this weekend if the weather is nice. I´ll let you know if I do.

New Address

Here's my new Berlin address. Though word of warning, I don't think I can receive mail here.


Reuterstraße 90, 12053 Berlin, Germany


The best, most consistent place for mail (I do love letters!) is probably work. 


Hoidn Wang Partner
Pariserstaße 6, 10719 Berlin, Germany

New Bike Route

Here's my new bike Route. It is a bit shorter (20 min instead of 30+) but I can't go as fast. There is a bike lane the whole way, which in some ways is good, but it also means I'm riding on pavers pretty much the whole way. And that is definitely not as smooth as asphalt. The trip isn't nearly as "dramatic" either. No Altes Museum, Berlin Philharmonie or various embassies. I like my new neighborhood a lot though...win some lose some.
