bruce sterling's essay in Architecture Record synthesizes several topics covered on archinect with a provocative essay worth finding in the current print edition.
So is there hope to make the world a better place when 1/3rd of folks are living in such situations?
How can we reshape the profession of architecture/landscape architecture/urban design to address this staggering reality? or will we remain the profession for the wealthiest 1% of humanity?
How can we help cameron take architecture for humanity into this bigger realm of designing like we give a damn?
ah, but there is so much money to be made in prisons...in this example, the privatization of prison made that birklund chap some $773,743 dollars in profit which only required 34 people to go to prison and only 340 average taxpayers to work their entire lives to support this scam
and just wait until we start privatizing public education en masse...the profits will be breathtaking!
