Emelie Nielson: I am an architect who is in a constant quest of exploring and searching for that what drives me. I am fascinated by poetry in architecture, and atmospheres, architecture that has a soul, or you could even call it 'spirited'. Architecture that takes one by surprise and has that aspect of mystery. In a world where repetition, economy, deadlines and mediocrity rules, I wanted to create a blog that tries to put it's finger on what exactly it is that trigger me creatively and makes me dream. Because in the end that's what it's all about, to find the trigger point and fuel the fire to keep on searching. The sublime, to me is the awe of the great, it can bring both pleasure/delight and fear/horror at the same time. It often comes with a melancholia for me for what does not last or has a beauty hard to grasp. The sublime I recognise as lofty and poetic, it creates emotions and speak to me. I am interested in that effect, the emotional, sometimes even physical response architecture can have on humans. This is why I created this blog, to explore this concept, what draws me in. Sometimes it is a memory, sometimes the built, sometimes a piece of art or a photography...
