The Space Between
About
Hi,
I'm Leslie Tom, Assoc. AIA
I am using Tumblr to understand in a stream of consciousness sort of way what's going on in AEC 2.0 Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry. And to combine that with Information Organization, Retrieval, and Service theories. Pushing to be an Information Architect with Thinking Technologies. Feel free to add to my space on the same topics- Submit Here
I am embarking on a 2 year Master of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) degree at the University of California, Berkeley. My intent is to focus on teaching, learning and practicing a new methodology for producing, designing, and creating Architecture through collaboration. I have been involved in the Architecture trenches with being the Associate Director for AIA Arizona from 2009 - 2010. I also have been using Revit, a Building Information Management technology since 2004 at The Architecture Company.
I blog at TwoThree.us, on the same ideas, and I'd love to know what you're thinking about so leave a comment.

Finished the AIA Japan blogs!
Finally! The American Institute of Architecture (AIA) blogs are published! After finishing mid-terms, a crashing motherboard, failing my last architecture exam :( , running into my 5-year rolling clock :( and not getting an extension since Graduate School doesn’t count, all while loving my Augmented Reality thesis, etc. etc. all has been a whirlwind! So excited to spend the rest of Spring Break with my dear boyfriend < yeah!>in yet another Asian Capital City < double yeah!> I wonder if this (urban, civic spaces + technology) could possibly point me in the direction of my dream path. To connect with innovation of physical and digital communities with the city? I guess I should tip my hat to Dick Williams, who pointed me to SPUR (San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association) and, where last week I got to hear a lecture on Democratizing Power of Technology. So quickly my world is opening up to interactions with “The Dawn of the Municipal Chief Innovation Officer”, finding an urban planning mentor, and of where the physical and digital environments interact. In the meantime, check out our AIA Crafting the Future conference in Japan. <And thanks to everyone who has helped edit along the way!> I’ll catch up with everyone after I graduate and after I now finish 2 more architecture exams…

“There are some things
which cannot be learned quickly,
and time,
which is all we have,
must be paid heavily
for their acquiring.
They are
the very simplest things
and because it takes
a man’s life to know them,
the little new
that each man gets from life
is very costly
and the only heritage
he has to leave.”Earnest Hemmingway (via. The Urban Stage by Richard Williams, 277) -
Filipino designer creates World’s 1st Biodegradable car
World renowned Filipino product designer Kenneth Cobonpue has created the world’s first and only biodegrable car made out of bamboo and rattan called the Phoenix.
Cobonpue is known for his signature designs using natural fibres and materials. The Phoenix is his latest venture in partnership with design apprentice Alberth Birkner which is created using rattan, steel, bamboo and nylon. Showcased for the first time at the “Imagination and Innovation” exhibit at Milan, the Phoenix is a testament of high quality craftsmanship to create an environmental friendly solution to transport.
Nice creative expression of a Bamboo and ratan car.

Analemma 2010
Hungarian photographer Tamas Ladanyi photographed the sun’s position at 9 AM GMT every ten days in 2010, and the result is this striking infinity symbol in the sky, known as an analemma.
Happy old year.
