September 27, 2007: Ludwig Abache adds Belo Horizonte, Brasil to Google Map Tour Guide Central. Actually, the very day the Guide was promoted to a feature Ludwig also added Tokyo. If you’re thinking of creating your own map have a look here for info.
September 26, 2007: When holz.box posted his small projects thread, it was instantly added to the shortlist for this week’s picks. There’s an immediacy to the appeal of “big thoughts in small packages”, as liberty bell calls them. Orhan Ayyüce’s Topanga Canyon hideaway was quite a surprise. As was discovering holz's entry in the Phaidon Atlas while I was searching for projects to post! This thread is just getting started but there’s already a great deal to discover for those interested in elemental expression. AP’s excerpt of a Trakl poem, offered to support a definition, seems particularly apt.
September 24, 2007: Bryan Finoki posted a dense cluster of unsettling surveillance articles on Monday. You’ll not find an unequivocal endorsement of big brother’s acumen here. If surveillance inc. were a publicly listed multinational, its market performance and stock price would likely be a running joke. Nevertheless, I’m glad someone’s keeping tabs on the watchers.
NB.
Both RAArch and new member phased benefit from a great deal of advice from archinect veterans: dare i say....thesis? & Glenn Murcutt. Given the charged atmosphere in the forum this week the above is especially noteworthy. The Rowhouse thread is worth a look as well – I'm sold on that "wet" room.
Next Week: A proper rundown of archinect’s school blog activity.
Errata: I mistakenly equated archinect member holz.box with Austrian firm Holz Box Tirol when referring to an entry in the Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture. My apologies for the oversight. They don’t call them pseudonyms for nothing. I’ve since reconsidered bestowing similar laurels on FrankLloydMike and aldorossi.

wait....so Holz.Box is actually involved with the Holz.Box Tirol firm in Innsbruck?
that's craziness! I've been following their work, and the one time I was in Innsbruck, I probably wandered the streets for three hours trying to look up and find MiniBox, to no avail.
nice work!
oh man... um, i can give you the addresses of several of their projects, but alas, i am not affiliated with the holz.box tirol.
this is located in a courtyard @ colingasse 3, innsbruck
i worked near basel for a while back in school, and have an affinity for wood (holz) and swiss boxes (box), hence the name.
