I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you are using a CRT screen (not the newer LCD versions) Blackle may actually cause you to use more energy than the regular display:

I recommend that you watch this film (if you can find it!):

I do not think you are the only one who has noticed this. The side effect of climate change awareness has been that some people either retreat to the safe grounds of denial, or in this case, start using global warming as grounds for an excuse to ine…

Beatriz, that was very well said.
Robert Adam, whose work I am unfamilliar with, would be correct if architects stopped grandstanding and waxing political/theoretical about their buildings. Of course, this will never be the case and I be… -
I wonder if one of the stumbling blocks in getting housing intiatives to inmplement adequate public transport is that in new communities, there is less of a community "group" that can lobby for these changes?
The housing shortage is a pr… -
I don't know about the business park area but there is a pretty dense residential development being designed around a man made wetland which will help to recycle water in the residential area. By dense I mean a handful of detached houses and the res…

Wow. That is really quite admirable coming from the heavy hitting investment banks. It almost makes me think that perhaps the carbon credit system might be going ahead in the USA. I always wondered how white collar services such as banking would gai…

As I said before, I think your question is very interesting especially the "speed of life" which may not allow for reflexivity in today's society. I'm currently finishing a Sociology subject and have found this to be a recurring theme in today's soc…

That's a really good question. I think alot of it comes from a lack of empathy/understanding towards people who have immigrated due to reasons above their control (i.e: war/political unrest). I think that Australians are very generous with charity a…

I didn't really get a good look at the article as I'm just about to go to uni. From what I could gather through speedreading it is that the Elms have a historical and/or cultural relevance to Melbourne.
I suppose this is where Sean's opi… -
Yikes...the two totals of carbon emissions are a little unnerving.
I know that cars and generally wasteful habits are the reason for such high emissions from the USA but I wonder if anyone has any sort of data that shows what it is exact… -
I was just reading The Age Online and there is a very interesting article by a columnist named Leon Gettler:
Why should I give up my SUV?

I had a look at that Age blog and found it very interesting. I wasn't sure if I liked the tone of the writer because the question shouldn't really be "can we afford to go green?" but rather "how can we not afford to go green" (but with better gramma…

Don't know if this is related but Mr. Luzhkov is one of the most powerful men in Russia. Although the right honourable John So is popular here, Luzhkov is powerful in that even Putin considers him a force to be dealt with. He is like the King of Mos…

thought I'd do a little google search for some ads which are innovative and show that advertisements can be more than labradors on toilet paper to engage people:

I suppose I have a bit too much free time at the moment but when I think of the council resisting against "Tarty Commercialism" there are a few places around Melbourne City that have "tarty" billboards. Eg: Corner Brunton and Punt and Corner Swansto…

Hi Kashmakash,
I found this article online from the June 2005 Architectural Record (New York) issue that might help this discussion get started:

Thanks for the quick reply Shelley!
It definitely would be an amazing thing to watch everyone have an Australian flag. I imagine it's hard to call someone UnAustralian because of their appearance if they have an Australian flag with them… -
If this blog "Samson Blinded" does well in the blogger world for Israelis and those who support their government and opposing parties it's no wonder that it leans a little to the right.

Agreed peter.
It's not so bad at the moment, but today's spate of spams were particularly unappealing and the locations of these messages were flung all over the forum. Also, I think the small and quick task of regiistering isn't really … -
Thanks Peter, I was a little worried that I'd just become overly verbose in my reply. Seems to be a regular thing with me :roll:

Beatriz,
Where can I find out more about "Group Self-Built". I've been slowly trying to work up the courage to talk to the Principal at work to ask if it'd be OK to send emails around the office about functions/activities which the peopl… -
Peter, I think that the Elms on Melbourne's streets are more of a link to a colonial past, a part of what we, in Melbourne would say adds to the identity of the city (we were previously, the Garden State) and because of the previous two reasons, not…

Don't know if this helps disillusioned architecture student but, I'm in 5th year, going on 6th year. I do a combined degree with Landscape architecture...and judging by what you have said...I think you really need to sit down and think to yourself w…

The cult of the "star architect" sometimes seems as if it was created by architects themselves, so I think it's hard to say that it's mainly the media or just the publishers of said glossy magazines and newspaper articles.
