The big news on the interwebz this week: New Hatch Series Archinect T-Shirts have arrived.



Elsewhere in the forum:

DI Rankings for Arch Schools are causing the usual rumblings from those who find that interesting.

The Economic Crisis is on everyone's mind. At press time there was no less than five threads on layoffs and employment concerns. Get your job (or lack thereof) fix here:

Twas' the Night Before Layoffs...

Underemployed.

For the unemployed...

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs...

and...

Who's First on the Firing Line?

It's not all doom and gloom out there however. There's always Bacon.

In the News department I found a few items of interest that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle:

Amish folks getting in trouble with the Building Departments? I recently watched The Devil's Playground which was fascinating so this one certainly caught my eye.

I also happened to catch the NPR broadcast about Tyson's Corner, Virginia, so this was also one that I though was worth following. King of Prussia? Costa Mesa? Pay attention: Edge Cities getting the remodel.


Tyson's Corner, Virginia

We've seen some threads in the forum about graffiti, but this Spiegel piece linked from Orhan's comment in news set off an interesting series of comments. Was graffiti pwned by Madison Ave.?



Just don't start watching Style Wars unless you've got a bit of free time...

New York magazine put out its Top Ten Designs of 2008. My favorite seems to jive with namhenderson's as well...I like anything called a digester egg


Polshek Partnership's Newtown Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant.

That reminds me of this little bit of old New York magazine news which I think bears repeating: New Works Project for America coming with the Obama admin? We can only hope. Either way, it's a great little op-ed about big ideas and big projects.
