2016.12 18 01:00 - Projects and Weather

The Guardian for this meeting was Wol Euler.

Qt Core: Hi Wol
Wol Euler: buongiorno Qt!
Wol Euler: how's the weather?
Qt Core: shiny sun fighting against heavy fog and 3/5C

--BELL--

Qt Core: you ?
Wol Euler: foggy and slightly warmer than that
Wol Euler: no winter here yet, haven't had a frost yet
Agatha Macbeth: Boo
Qt Core: i've seen a little frost outside town

Agatha Macbeth: Long time no see Qt :)
Qt Core: hi Agatha
Qt Core: yes :-)
Agatha Macbeth: You have frost in Milan?
Agatha Macbeth: It's amazingly warm here
Qt Core: yes, we are at 3/5C at the moment
Wol Euler: aggers!
Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
Agatha Macbeth: I've been turning the heating off
Wol Euler: O.O
Wol Euler: in mid-December?
Agatha Macbeth: Yep

Wol Euler: how can anyone who isn't too stupid to tie their own shoelaces deny climate change?
Agatha Macbeth: Been around 12C much of the time
Qt Core: and as northern europe has warmer temps due to high pressure the atmosphere over northern italy is still so high pollution around at the moment
Wol Euler: unless they were bribed to deny it, of cours3e
Agatha Macbeth: It is pretty crazy

Agatha Macbeth: Are you going to Bryn's thingy before your holiday Wollie?
Wol Euler: perhaps today
Agatha Macbeth: Great
Wol Euler: not sure when I'd have time if not
Agatha Macbeth: Don't forget the party is at 11
Wol Euler: whcih party?
Agatha Macbeth: The PaB one
Wol Euler: ah
Wol Euler: I should read my mail more often
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Aph has been prodding us ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Working today?
Wol Euler: no, but an appointment at 5:30 to hear the boss's kids sing :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aha

Agatha Macbeth: Did the hand in go well?
Wol Euler: yes, we got the job
Agatha Macbeth: Oh good
Wol Euler: it will keep us until early summer 2018
Agatha Macbeth: Great
Agatha Macbeth: Not another swimming pool?
Wol Euler: ys
Qt Core: nice
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Wol Euler: outdoor this time, summer-only
Wol Euler: so the actual "building" part is minimal
Qt Core: do you ever go to places you worked to build how is the feeling ?
Wol Euler: some of them
Wol Euler: some are too far away for that to be convenient, like the Canary Islands
Wol Euler: we go regularly to the one we finished in 2011, because the kids like to have their birthday parties there

--BELL--

Wol Euler: I think it's important for architects to revisit their projects
Wol Euler: whenever I go into one of our buildings, I make a point of talking to the staff
Wol Euler: asking "what works? what doesn't work? What would you change?"

[some editing]

Qt Core: it was almost complete and it was the first years that school was working, following year the pool opened... and i changed school
Agatha Macbeth: Many are patrolled even
Wol Euler: so you missed the pool?
Qt Core: yes
Agatha Macbeth: I haven't been in a pool since I was 14
Agatha Macbeth: Will have to visit Trumpsie and use his
Qt Core: went to another school with a pool... but discovered it had one years after leaving it (beside that i hated pool at that age and not a big fan even nowadays)
Qt Core: (but went to an open air one this past summer and almost liked it)
Wol Euler: use the page numbers not the arrows to navigate  [showing designs]

Qt Core: i really like the sauna window
Wol Euler: yeah :)
Wol Euler: they pasted over that with translucent film with some small openings
Wol Euler: number 9 is the core idea, the concept that won the competition
Wol Euler: from the moment you walk in the front door, you can see water
Qt Core: ohh, just thought about the privacy outside people issues...
Wol Euler: yes, qt, that was why
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully they wear trunks :p
Wol Euler: in the sauna? of course not
Agatha Macbeth: Oh right
Qt Core: (in italy you still have trunks/swimsuits in saunas)
Agatha Macbeth: No towel?
Qt Core: and towel
Wol Euler: towel to sit on of course
Wol Euler: but most people don't wrap while in the sauna itself
Agatha Macbeth: On the deckchair

--BELL--

Qt Core: loving the google translation of the website too ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Wol Euler: heheheh I can imagine
Qt Core: i need to go, bye all an nice pool Wol
Agatha Macbeth: TC Qt
Agatha Macbeth: Eat well
Wol Euler: bye qt
Wol Euler: take care, and thank you
Qt Core: there is a street food festival at 50 meters from my home, surely i will, Aga ;-)
Wol Euler: and merry christmas
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
Wol Euler: I may not be back until january, not sure whether I'll be able to get on while in Canada
Qt Core: ohh, merry christmas then Wol, and happy new year ttoo
Qt Core: bye
Agatha Macbeth: Ciao
Agatha Macbeth: So there we have it
Wol Euler: indeed
Agatha Macbeth hangs her drawers on yer antlers
Wol Euler: lol
Agatha Macbeth: So what will do about Bryn's thing then?
Wol Euler: go and see it?`
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, but when?
Wol Euler: now?`
Agatha Macbeth: Could do
Wol Euler: okay
