TOLove

Wath's your opinion about architect's sites ?
I don't like most of them, expecially the biggest firms ones.

I think many arichitects wear glasses (job related wear and tear on the ol' balls) and some of them are really cool. I think PJ started that trend. Or maybe Corbu. I'm confused now.

Elton John would make a great star architect.
Can you imagine p. eisenman in a pair of those huge glitter glasses. I think that would bring him to the next level he has so desperately tried to attain.

It's very seldom that architects, even the biggest firms, get to choose the sites for their projects, so how can we hold them responsible for them?

well, thats just the point isn't it? if they had bigger glasses they would pick better sites for their projects.

Are you talking about web sites or building sites? I'm confused.

To cite an insightful comment a contractor said at one of our site meetings: "You know what they say. Hind-SIGHT is 50/50."

I many times mis-spell stuff and maybe even occassionally spell "what" as "waht", but this is the first time i see someone write it out as "wath". Put some bigger glasses on TOLove.

That’s a little insensitive towards their lisp I think, but you are the editor!

I'm sorry, "wath" is "what" and "sites" are " websites"

Do a search for architect's websites on this site and you will find some interesting ones and some good feedback of the state of this "art".

Also look at Patrick’s work here Marckesano and find his posts regarding same.

Thanks for clarifying your question.

The big glasses are to look at the big sites abra!
