Moving Architecture art leaves in earth

Fragmented memories are now coming in mind. Sharp shapes, a variety of repeated angles and lines: a place bustling in geometry. BAUHAUS-an architect’s dream. It’s the first time I’ve ever sensed that air, ever felt the journey in my flesh and ever participated in a road trip. Budapest- Dessau – Berlin – Ljubljana was the round. All places of great architectural “desire”.

So were on the way. A group of students partly immature in culture and life itself, however more than keen on finding aspiration and broadening our horizons. Being several hours in a bus is a challenge by its own, that I wanted to get myself through.

First night in Budapest passed more than quickly. A small walk, a few photos from the group’s most aspiring photographers, a prompt breath of the town’s magic and before you realize it, it’s over and then you go again on the road. Leaving with a sweet memory in mind and with a promise to come back, Berlin seemed nearer than ever. The stop in Dessau to visit Bauhaus premises, the first school of fine arts and architecture, aided in our relaxation equally augmenting our excitement.

It is ten o’clock and the group is finally there, with a little rain welcoming them in the enlightened Berlin. Some traditional sausages and other mouthwatering dishes are waiting to be devoured. The local restaurant owner offers helpful advice on tomorrow’s sightseeing. Everyone is now waiting for the bed- sleep; although once the rest of the town emerges, curiosity takes place.

Being in Berlin was as if experiencing a dream. Sightseeing from dawn to dusk including visits at great architectural memorials or various renowned exhibitions; parties when the night cast its spell. Closing my eyes, the clanging sound of metal Jewish faces scattered on the floor of the Jewish Museum, announcing each and every step, still haunts me. 3 days loaded with experience. 3 days indelibly engraved in mind.

The time of separation is always hard. Nonetheless, Ljubljana was ahead waiting to be swept away by an enthusiastic and full of recent memories crowd. Calm and peaceful during our night walk offered us, young architects, its most beautiful face that none of our sketches or models could ever describe.

What a trip, what an experience! No matter how long the journey or how small the duration of each city stay was (or am I trapped by my greedy eyes always wanting things to last longer?), the road will unravel its most hidden secrets. One has just to look carefully!
