North not offering a sanctified alternative anymore, south too much like the old colonic coloniser.The country not good enough? Definitely - ask Cook's slighted indigenous (that's James as well as Peter's)but not another architect. Where to go - hea…

Fulbright Filly and Polish Princess been scratched which should be apparent by now.Everyone else sees it but they keep trotting but never at speed - too complacent.

My notes should not be mistaken for a personal whinge about my work conditions-I can look after myself. I find these rumours of wage fixing cartels disturbing and would happily be proven wrong but would like to test the air t… -
Yo Hairdresser
Melbourne might be :
"tedious" - yes it undoubtedly is and I live here working for architects, so I know

just to reply to the previous - yes you are right there was only one side of a story presented in The Age article - Lab's.There was no follow up of their thin claims to originality or any discussion about originality itself being a spurious claim.What is passed as criticism is generally too cosy in all architectural media in Australia for my liking but then it is a very small circuit and the writers probably only have a cursory knowledge of the defamation laws and at a payment rate of around…I suspect this is an item of discussion as the word "Libeskind' failed to appear once in this article and that would appear to be inconsistent editorialising by The Age which about 3 years ago showed the blatant homage/appropriation/inspiration/copy…At the risk of boring outsiders, Tweakin's recurring question of RMIT's academic supremacy or fall warrants discussion.For outsider's benefit, the 'ongoing decline' of RMIT is as perennial a subject of discussion in (very limited-and that should be …Mmmmm nice Tweakin [xxxx] - yes it is a small town and attitudes like yours make it smaller to the point where you want to leave. So your first harsh dismissal shifts to conceding that the support, organisation, professionality, academics and team s…
