Just what we all need. A 3800 sq foot, or around 360 sq m house. Three times our house in size. And! It's a 'weekend home'...

Elsevier-funded NY Congresswom... (michaeleisen.org)

Reading Zite over lunch and this gem popped up. Have always been intrigued by the public access to publicly funded research that the US govt. insists upon. Seems to me it's only feasible for the very large organization... But to be applauded nonetheless.

But what's intriguing here if correct is the notion that there is no discussion about the congresswoman being asked to front a congressional disciplinary committee for such an apparently commercially motivated behaviour.

Scientific American writing an opinion piece... Annoying. Easy to understand how if this is popular science, science gets a bad name. It's just an opinion piece 'backed' by some collected opinions....

Editorial, Editorial, world ar... (worldarchitecturenews.com)

An editorial worthy if the title: raises the age-old question about quality in architecture: does it have merely to do with appearance in carefully staged (sans people) photographs? Or is there more? Quality work environments.

Moves from this position to question the role of the architect in re-thinking quality work environments...

So reminiscent of the good old days when we ran Post Occupancy Evaluation exercises in design studio as part of the briefing process for improving the design output. Famously I recall involving not only the School Board, the admin Teaching and cleaning staff, but also the primary students in a school prior to designing a new addition

Around 3cm square. 32Gb data. WiFi. GPS.
A gadget looking for an application..
Something that with its tiny display has not enough I/O to make it useful... So the question they ask in suggesting on this site it is available is really unimaginative.

Debunking the Myths About BIM in the "Cloud": AECbytes Viewpoint #61
Another interesting paper from Graphisoft...
Seems to miss a fifth dimension in the cloud computing world: in addition to the 4 cloud approaches listed in the paper I believe there is a fifth. It is the web as service option.
