diabase I'm glad you brought back the architecture as signal thread. I hope on that and the metaphysical function threads I'm not coming off as antagonistic! I love when I'm working late and your meta-meta topics get going...keeps me feeling curious despite the mundane work I'm trying to get done.
But I'm going to bed now, sorry! It's late at night here in the middle of America. Have a good day at work.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.
Just for the record, I, SL, was born 20 March 1956. My brother, OL, was born 10 January 1953, but he was in a near fatal auto accident 20 March 1980, taken to the same hospital where I was born and had a lobotomy perfomed on him that afternoon.
As far as archinect is concerned quondam, Rita Novel and Wolfhilde von Schlittenfahrt are the same person.

Happy birthday, quondam! Mine is tomorrow.
Also, wow, I had no idea they still performed lobotomies in 1980. I'm sorry.
happy birthday quondam, myriam, fro9k
hope you spent/spend it with good people

Spent birthday morning delivering my mother to her doctor appointment--very apropos.
Bought some soft pretzels with my brother.
Visited the Liberty Bell Pavilion.
Late afternoon got a phone call from old friend; someone slipped some Ecstasy into their bottled water at the disco.
Enjoyed watching Under the Tuscan Sun.
c.k.

btw, quondam, you should come to this lecture:
David Adjaye, Making Public Buildings, April 3 at 6 p.m, Annenberg Center's Zellerbach Theatre.
He is also a museum guy.
Happy belated birthday!

Dear Friends,
Since I have already brought Christ to archinect.com, I thought I'd go a step further and now bring Christ to Thread Central!
It's obvious that those of you who post here on Thread Central are the most influential and respected members of this forum and hence my generous offer to let you aid me with this important mission.
Remember,
You and me,
and Jesus.
That makes three!
With Love!

lb, glad you like. Most of what yesterdays posts were about was an outlet, stream of concsiousness etc. thought that I would 'bring back the biff' and put my money where my mouth is re: architectural topics/fascinations./personalities. Its all about intersecting, like Mircea Eliade says:
It follows that every construction or fabrication has the cosmogony as paradigmatic model . The creation of the world becomes the archetype of every creative human gesture, whatever its plane of reference may be. We have already seen that settling in a territory reiterates the cosmogony. Now that the cosmogonic value of the Center has become clear, we can still better understand why every human establishment repeats the creation of the world from a central point (the navel). Just as the universe unfolds from a center and stretches out toward the four cardinal points, the village comes into existence around an intersection.
what kind of blow dryer would it take to do that?!
maybe one of those helmets that sucks the hair up into it instead of blowing air down.
sorry, this has nothing to do with anything but i'm overtired and seeing this picture i felt compelled to post it in several places.

It’s refreshing to see that archinectors are not just paper architects- and enjoy getting dirty and walking around muddy job sites.
I always wondered if a design is not built, should it be considered a completed work of architecture.
My point being is that things are fluid during the construction phase and things change sometimes for the better, project that don’t get built never go through those changes.
Abra’s dog is appearing in my dreams; every time I visit Thread Central I get that look from daisy- can’t wait fro those page numbers to be at the to of the page.

i think this is as good a place as any to announce that the midwest is doing pretty well with archinect meetups: over the last couple of weeks, wonderk, superheavy, superbeatledud, liberty bell, and i have all met each other in either lexington or cincinnati. we talked about you guys.
