Several offices closing, no construction going on only theories being built up on one another. Everywhere you see cranes moving from side to side with the freezing strong wind and the low and bright winter sunlight exposing the sad silence in the naked iron structures. You know but don´t want to see, the ruination hidden underneath the pure, soft and almost dreaming like snow.    Crisis, financially as well as politically, hitting us like a rock to ones face, taking its toll on everything. You are almost out of breath. Thoughts of ones future has darkened and no simple answers given. At the moment everything actually seems to be going as bad as it can get. One hopes that these endless discussions of better actions will actually make the situation better. As for architecture and construction; a question of if future governmental actions will take its toll on construction plans and city plans, old as well new ones? And make it even harder to get in the global race against time again? Will one have to look at the naked iron structures for a long time?   As the race against time will halt for a minute, the identity of the city will not take its toll as it perhaps would have and create a gap in the society. As for us, this race is lost. We are actually forced to step outside and start thinking of a new way in again.      And a change will come - One has to belief it. We will be better prepared for yet another race, a new one, as the situation gets better, the mind of architects will get pure and fresh, new offices will open and constructions will begin with a force. The snow will be long gone, nothing underneath, no devastation or ruination, only bright light from the sun, exposing new and fresh ideas as well perhaps revealing new theories for the future.
