I am the last advocate for reducing texts, scriptures and languages to mere graphic forms. The whole dimension of the text's meaning, histories, combinations, connotations, sound and craft is disregarded. What is more problematic is that I am ignoring the power of words to move and persuade people.
After first year and my first internship, I felt slightly disillusioned and confused by what Architecture meant to me. I took a trip to Myanmar and the trip recalibrated a lot things. I found it particularly grounding and inspiring for some of the things that I want to achieve in the future.
The spatial and formal organisation of the Burmese language in signage was something I found very compelling. At least with the handwritten texts, so much thought and effort was put into crafting every character. You see pencil marks, underlays, brush strokes and outlines. There is a combination of type faces and textures to create visual impact in different programmatic contexts that I find fascinating.
The Burmese name for the round script is "ca-lonh", literally translating to "round text". There are 33 main characters in the Myanmar language. Instead of words that are formed by a combination of alphabets (like in English), this language makes use of additional vowel shift symbols, tonal change symbols and consonant modification symbols. The rounded form of the characters is a result of the use of palm laves a the traditional writing material. Straight lines and forms would tear the leaves.
By compiling this, I am exposing my status as alien and an outsider. However, the focus on the visuals may have the inverse effect of celebrating the text, for text's sake, specifically, it is celebrated as visual form and not just a sign that says "eggs", or something.
Regardless, I tried to interpret the scope of "text" in a broad but focused way - text, in its literal form, text in prayer, text in recitation, text in architectural program (the stupas of Kuthodaw Pagoda). Photos are arranged in chronological order. The journey started in Yangon, then upstream along the Ayarwaddy river, to Mandalay and Bagan, then back again to Yangon.
These photos aren't really anything special in terms of photography, and I am not going to attempt to make sweeping claims about directing a new visual order, but as a composite they attempt to represent my yearning to celebrate a culture of appreciation for the process driven intensity in text making and in the creation of form.

I'm earthing and grounding as much as humanly possible this summer (or at least for an hour each day)! 😂👣
I recently ordered a nice pair of nice deerskin "grounding shoes" from "Barefoot Sue", similar to the "Neoprene Barebottom Shoes" I bought from them a couple of years ago and have worn off and on in warm weather.
I haven't worn them yet except in the house, it has been far too cold. On their website I also saw neoprene socks, actually wearable as shoes, they claimed, but intended either for those who do polar bear swimming (not me!) or as boot liners to keep your feet warm on hikes in bitter weather.
Since they were inexpensive, I bought a pair. But this is not what I expected them to look like. Apparently designed by a fan of Sponge Bob Square Pants! I haven't had the nerve to wear them in public without shoes, and never tried them with any of my "too large" footwear yet. (They certainly won't fit in any of my much more common "too small" shoes!)
Hey, it would be interesting to wear these with one of my pair of shoes with the completely burst out sides.
Strangest socks I've ever seen!

It had been a LONG time since I did a build. This engendered some caution in me, and I used an honest to goodness grounding strap. Note I'm grounded to the power supply which is actually plugged in. All was well.

Chemical Ground Electrode System
Performance characteristics and working principle of chemical grounding system:
1. Chemical ground electrode
2. Existing soil
3. Special filler
4. Ions diffuse around
5. Expand the conductive range of the soil
Chemical Grounding electrode (chemical grounding rod) is a new type of grounding system suitable for all kinds of places with high grounding requirements and difficult grounding engineering.
The chemial grounding electrode system consists of advanced alloy compounds, with a copper tube on the outside to ensure maximum conductivity and long service life. The filling material inside the conductor contains special ionic compounds, which can absorb moisture in the air adequately. Active ions can be effectively released into the soil through the deliquescence, and interact with the moisture in the soil and air to further promote the external slow release and drag reduction of conductors, and to maintain the long-term stability of the resistance value. Compounds in conductors are gradually combined in colloidal transparency over time.

By utilizing the conductivity of the colloidal compound, the entire system can be ion-exchanged for a long time, thus forming an ideal electrolytic ion grounding system. After the slow-release filler in the conductor is embedded, the grounding resistance will gradually decrease, reaching a stable value within six months to one year, and the embedded slow-release process can last for several years. The main connecting parts of the ion grounding electrode are hot-melt welded, which has overcome other connection methods and easy connection loosening.
The connecting wire is a copper clad steel copperweld stranded wire with a section of 95 mm2 and a length of 3 m and is crimped to the grounding terminal/copper lug to facilitate connection with the grounding grid.
