The architectural archive of Tintin and Milou / elarafritzenwalden@gmail.com The blog is titled after the name given to the architectural library of the adventurous Tintin and Milou. It is idealized from the need to map buildings, catalog solutions and to not let past architectural responses expire, forgotten (ironically) in other archives. From an almost full narrative of black and white images and drawings, this imagined library is stoically built, without his own interpretations and not refusing the excess of documentation.

This is the time of endings, new beginnings and plans for the future. The last day of December is the last one of the year and, as I had planned, the final entry of this archive (at least for the time being). Thank you for your support, cheers to everyone and all the best! — picture: 'mixing the concretes' by Herman Damen #elarafritzenwalden #firecracker #mixingthefeelings #ifindoubtmeriadocalwaysfollowyournose
