Yoshi’s beautiful insanity is a freshly minted blog by Mariel , a student of Urban Planning in Simon Bolivar University in Caracas, Venezuela. After reading the paper Rhythm and Ritual: a motive for design, Mariel comments “I have always believed that the greatest and most beautiful art is life and how we each day create a new canvas of the daily things”.
She poetically compares life to a dance and music, during which we are dancers and composers, and no matter how much our life may seem a monotonous routine, every day is a different one as each small act provokes change and shapes our destiny.
What colours have you used from you palette today? What notes have you whistled? How do we free body and mind from classic movement patterns and improvise a choreography?

Dear Bee,
WoW! I am sure Mariel will be deligthed to read your comments about her blog entry. She is amazingly poetic, isn’t she?.
All my Urban Planning and Architecture students are doing a great job with their blogs. At first they were a bit reluctant to start blogging, but little by little they have found their way into it.
On this page, you will find the links to their blogs:

I have also created a photoblog with brainmaps they have created about a reading on Rhythm:

This is our course Web page:
Thanks again!!
hugs,
Daf

The rhythm and ritual theme is fascinating as it cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural. While the reference text was on architecture, Mariel made the connection with the arts and living, while Carlos, for instance, had a more geographical approach.

Bee:
I enjoyed your comments above (“The Art of Living”) as much as I enjoyed Mariel’s reflections on “Rhythm and Ritual.”

Dear Bee,
I liked your comments about “The Art of Living” very much. I also enjoyed the painting of ballerinas by Degas—what a nice touch!
