We took a trip to Porto which was really fun! Great to get a sunny holiday in during the winter. While we were there we managed to see the infamous Anish Kapoor exhibition where a visitor fell into the ‘infinite’ black hole he built. Other than it being great to see something so well covered by the news, the show itself was quite something. Our favourite room was one full of all these architectural models for either realised projects or future ones. Some were even fictional or speculative, no actual location in mind or we currently lack the technology but maybe they’ll be realised eventually. It would be amazing to have a model like one of those made, there’s something about them which is so exciting. Perhaps it’s their potential to be so much more than they are…could also just be that small versions or things which are usually big is weird.
