Architects work for free, why shouldn't everyone?

I love this video. It so clearly illustrates how the world would look if eveyone got treated like a designer....

2010 Young Architect Awards

I wonder if they would have recognized more than 2 women (out of 10 architects) if at least one person on the jury would have been a woman?

Skyscraper of the year

by architect Jeanne Gang, of Chicago. She's great. What I love other than how amazing this building looks, is that the forms on the facade that create the residential decks were designed using wind modeling in order to lessen the effect of high Chicago winds on the facade. The design allowed the structural engineers to be able to forego the usually required mass-dampening system.

Form, function, ah, Louis Sullivan would be proud....

Architects and film

Here's a list of films where a main character is an architect. 45 films listed. 3 women architects. Thats' pretty bad.

Drawing Restraint

I've always been a fan of Matthew Barney. But I still find this really funny...

I only wish this were really him.

Hot Canadian Pop Supergroup

Sloan. Had the pleasure of seeing them live last night at the Crocodile. If you ever get a chance to see them, you should. They do not disappoint!

Product whore

I love this thing from these people.

Wayne's super swoopy house

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Wayne Coyne and his wife Michelle would remodel their house (with the help of OKC's Fitzimmons Architects) into the most fantastic, futuristic, hive-like playground. I love it. Dream clients in my opinion! See all of the photos here.

Gone with the Wind

Here's an interesting development in wind-power technology - I wonder why this hasn't been thought of before?

Tennis Hotness

One word: yes. Ladies and Gentlemen, Fernando Verdasco.
