Today we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the start of the first moon landing mission. Neil Armstrong and Edwin »Buzz« Aldrin made the famous one small step for man on the lunar surface on July 20th 1969 while Michael Collins helmed the Columbia mother ship. The entire mission took eight days.

Now, when the gentlemen are approaching their 80th birthday (wow, already?), the rest of us are on a good track towards taking trips in space. A month ago, UK firm Foster + Partners won Virgin Galactic's international design competition therefore earning the privilege of designing world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport. Spaceport America will be located in New Mexico which is quite convenient since the extraterrestrials are said to be quite familiar with certain areas out there.

Since the capital of The Great Britain is the noisiest among the other European capitals I have ever been to, I try to focus on the task I have in here, in London. The task is to answer my short, little question:

"What is AA?"

My blog will be about what the AA is and how I experience the school.

While I was at the Architectural Association's doors last year. I was wondering about how it could look like  to be a student of the school. And I can finally feel it, now. The first day passed. We have choosen our Tutors already. Everybody from the course has his first choice tutors. We were pleased with the announcement. Bravo for the AA's authorities. Everybody from the course has his own background. There are students from all around the world. Some of them study architecture, others want to do it. There are high school students as well as people who graduated from architectural schools.

When you go back to the first line of the post you will find out what could be inspiration for people who enjoy creativity. You could listen to the sound of the city. For me the city of London sounds like punk rock or drum and bass. Here are tons of sounds which merge into one track. It might frighten you a bit at the begining but in the end if you like picturesqueness and colourfulness you probably would like it.

So... I think you could also think about your own city like listening to a specific kind of music. Try to do that and you will not regret it. And remember:

Wherever you go, always keep the music within you...
