http://archurbanist.blogspot.com/2008/06/water-worlds-aka-aquaurbanism.html

Right now most of you must be thinking “Shit, this guys an idiot, he just figured it out? 8221; I know, I know! I feel like a fool too. But now I am finally on the bandwagon. So, just in case you’re like me and you don’t read the news everyday, or you have trouble putting all the pieces together, let me fill you in. That the US’ interest in deve...

Thursday, January 22, 2009. Rural Studio Road Trip. Flickr Set featuring pictures of my trip to see the Rural Studio, Hale County Alabama.

In Newbern, AL, the home base of the Rural Studio progra...

http://archurbanist.blogspot.com/2008/08/discussion-of-week-simplicity-vs.html

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Discussion of the Week: SimpliCity vs. ComplexCity. Topic #1: SimpliCity vs. ComplexCity. The first topic that we would like to bring up for discussion is a debate between complexity. In architecture the first signs of discontent began with the Team X group but it was perhaps not until Venturi first uttered the phrase “Less is a Bore” in Complexity and Contradiction. That the floodgates of dissension were fully unlocked. Rowe and Koetter’s Collage City. The research into the sig...

Sunday, February 1, 2009. Shinian Kuai Le, or Happy Chinese New Year! Sorry for the week long absence from posting but I have been on holiday for CNY since last Saturday. I hope to have some pics from the festivities on my Flickr page soon so all of you can take a gander.

I don’t really n...
