I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?
like whatever..

Myriam - Nanz is actually pretty expensive - their products are all custom made - so the "stock" items thay have are cheaper than your own design but hey still manufacture everything for a specific job. Having said that Nanz is great and my firm uses them on high-end residential.
To put another name in the hat in addition to all the others - there is also Sugatsune. And Modric.

Still alive. Sorry it's been a while.
This is why. My piercer is starting his own shop and needs marketing materials, so I've been updating like crazy so that he (and others of course) can see my work, so that I'll hopefully have another freelance job in the pipeline. It's been a really crazy week, with the car, and not getting the new car until next week, so the bus everywhere, and doing the portfolio, and people taking me out for my birthday. So yeah, just dropping in to let you know that I'm still around, and finally let you see all that work that's been driving me crazy. I'm actually thinking of taking *two* night classes next semester, on top of doing the grad portfolio. Am I crazy or what?

And any sentence that starts with "My piercer is..." cracks me up.
I can't claim to know a lot about current graphic design, and to let you know where I'm coming from I've always thought this: http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/P/0486204715.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1114055909_.jpg width=375> is one of the best graphics I've ever seen, but I'll go ahead and throw in my opinion that I think you're making a good decision pursuing the graphic design field. So go ahead, you're not crazy to take two classes, especially when you seem to enjoy it so much!

Unfortunately, that hotel and 80 acres of land was recently sold for AUD$1.5 million after being abandoned for nearly 10 years [or so we were told]. Reminds me of a Tacita Dean piece showing an abandoned house somewhere, with a circular form.
It is acessed by a harsh clay road only accessible by 4wd, no power and no water or sewer services...
