Ok, since nobody is responding - that's VILLA 1 from Powerhouse Company. A bit too slick for my taste, but very impressive.

wait p2's building is still in play, right?

and does it bother anyone else that a-techno's mystery sf housing is still unnamed? I even emailed a couple friends working out there and no one's seen it before; I'm beginning to think it doesn't exist.

Oct 29, 08 12:31 pm  ·

Okay here's a new one to keep things going

southern hemisphere? australia maybe?

Oct 29, 08 1:28 pm  ·

is that you dread (former dread the controller) - I miss your old name, hard to find you now. You should think of going to dread di controller - to keep it dialectically correct.

Oh by the way no its not in the Western Hemisphere. So no its no Australia

ha ha, yes, i was dread are the controller. i've switched it up a couple of times, but always keeping the "dread" part.

my new moniker is after linton kwesi johnson's seminal 1978 album of the same name. it was key in voicing the struggles of the black community in london at the time.

anyway, isn't australia in the eastern hemisphere as well?

could it be south africa?

awww crap. i was just looking at this recently.

i think it's in texas or arizona.

i was gonna say new mexico

Oct 31, 08 2:36 am  ·

holz is right on the location - its texas (hook em horns, yee hay) - thats an additional clue as to the location.

Dread, yeah I know the album well and the poet very well. I think though LKJ message/ramblings are universal even in giving wings to an individuals dilemma. Respect!

Oscar Niemeyer. Los Angeles (?). Recently changed hands. If Lotta Living wasn't down (again -- and again) I'd have specifics.

Nov 2, 08 2:20 pm  ·

SDR, you are right. this is the only house niemeyer ever designed in this country. built in 1963 in santa monica.
it was almost demoed for a big mediterrannian development. he never saw it and designed it from topo maps and aerial photos.
