In Screen/Print #26: an interview with Jessica Walsh, currently half of design firm Sagmeister & Walsh, was excerpted, from the 2nd issue of Intern Magazine (devoted to "intern culture" in the creative industries).

 Darkman was confused "Strange choice to interview the most hated designer in the world for Intern magazine...She almost brags about not paying interns...Reads like PR I've already read". Similarly Mr_Wiggin wrote "seems, to me, diametric to the message Intern Magazine should be publishing".

Malaysia-born Melbourne-based sculptor Daniel Dorall spoke with Archinect for the latest installment of Working out of the Box. He finished up his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne in 2005, as he explains that now

Justine Testado wondered What do you think of the Guggenheim Helsinki Stage One entries? Although the general consensus was underwhelmed, threadkilla initially found a few noteworthy. Yet, after some digging concluded "look at this as an opportunity to assess directions in representational strategies/techniques more so than anything else...one more thing to note - I read a few of the descriptions, and I think doing so hurt my perception of the projects".

Artorias couldn’t understand Sverre Fehn’s Nordic Pavillion, "why do the beams not snap? Especially when the beam is cut short and there's a tree in the middle of it, should the beams not snap? Why doesn't it? I don't understand the construction of this space"? Gregory Walker answered "there's a grid of beams...hose fins are thick enough to get some welded wire mesh reinforcing in there - if they're tied together as a grid overall...it's not really carrying any weight beyond itself".

cshahar needs some help figuring out What makes a building alive or dead? to mightyaa it is simple, "I'd say it's ability to illicit a emotional response out of someone interacting with the space...I know there are a ton of neuroscience type studies out there that are interesting about how the human mind interprets their surroundings and the links towards emotions". While jw468 suggested reading "a chapter in Bachelard's Poetics of Space you might find helpful entitled ‘The House, From Cellar to Garret..."

Let it be and move on".
