Future of Construction Process: Concrete Printing

Mass produced custom is the future! I hope I can live long enough to have one of my buildings build by robots.

Opening up an Architecture Biz.

I couldn't write for a very long time. After I've finished my military obligation I've got a job. It was a good place to work and there were many nice people working. There was only one problem. They were never paying my money on time :) And they didn't pay most of my social security money to the Big Brother either.

Being sick of paying interest to the credit cards one day I quit. Even without looking/finding another job. Not so business wise. Don't try that at home people..

Lucky me found a new job in a week in an Engineering Firm as a CAD MONKEY. With all my expertise in Architecture and my knowledge of 3ds max, vray, Revit etc. I am an Autocad Monkey.

Complaining? NO. I like my boss. He's a real pro. and a good engineer. I work with architects, engineers and drafters. Nice people. We're getting to know each other as I've just completed a month. 10 hour strait drawing a day. Dull as dull can mean. But I'm off on Saturdays. And just for that I can shoot some people..

Anyways. With the salary I've got I've paid all the dues and taxes of tha car inherited from my father. Nearly a $1K. (Thank you Big Bro. I've done a military duty and in return I've got a huge amount of debt.) Car estimates around $3500. By the way the computer I own is a relic laptop.
I need a new Pc If I gotto do anything besides internet.

The GOAL is to open up an Architecture Biz. Crazy? Probably. What do you expect from a guy drawing 2d Autocad for 10 hours a day :) I'll write everything here no bull, no no telling.

Motto of the day:
The higher you rise, the harder you fall.
Dude there aint no fallin' from the bottom of the hole..

Bjarke Ingels: 3 warp-speed architecture tales

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels rockets through photo/video-mingled stories of his eco-flashy designs. His buildings not only look like nature -- they act like nature: blocking the wind, collecting solar energy -- and creating stunning views.

Ego without a Cause

Bottom of the food chain?

I would love to thank my country not for making me work for $11.04 to $13.63 a month for 5 months but for great financial management they've shown in the period to make the economics even worse.

Skateboarding Architecture is not a Crime?

Thank all my people for their infinite ignorance.
Consternation in your eyes caused by the new, is always inspiring.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference."
Robert Frost

Thank you factories for CAD Monkey opportunities.
The Ego, build up by financial success, is not without a sense of irony.

Developing to developed, humanoid to human?

-Naa..
-La révolution dévore ses enfants.

I love you all with no pun intended. Really! Otherwise it would be as boring as Sweden!

Tis time again to make money to put where my mouth is..

Three Areas of the Brain that Help Us Understand

The Future Sound of Speakers

Atkins Proposes New Prayer Halls For Mecca

Well Atkins scares the hell out of me! When you hit the profile tab on their web site a massage pops up saying "A license is required for all but personal use of this code. See Terms of Use at dyn-web.com". Easy buddy! I'm just looking at who you are as an architecture firm..

They probably jacked a code and forgot to disable the pop up :)
(You know it's not "personal use" anymore when you put it on your company web page, right?)

Anyways they as they declare are:

"We are a multinational community of 650 architects sharing a passion for excellence. Unlike many design firms, we believe that design solutions must be fitting to the time, place and culture in which they are located. We have no single “house style” – preferring instead to offer excellent, inspirational architecture and urban design that reflects our diversity and collaborative working style. In this site, you can sample our unlimited creativity."

Their unlimited creativity didn't at least help them here..
How stupid is this. What's this we have no single "house style" shit. Which architect has a single "house style"?
And why do they employ 650 architects? Why not 649 or 651? Does it sound better that way?
Design solutions must be fitting to the time, place and culture in which they are located?
Oh god I'm enlightened! This shakes the foundations of architecture as we know it today.
And the Muslimic / Religious Documentary style voice over the video puts the icing on the cake!

This is the worst "Sell Global, Pretend Local" nonsense I've ever seen!

I guess just like the code, they jacked this "who we are" from a global denim or soda company.
It could be just like this fine:

"We are a multinational community of 650 tailors sharing a passion for excellence. Unlike many denim firms, we believe that denim solutions must be fitting to the time, place and culture in which they are worn. We have no single “Jean Style” – preferring instead to offer excellent, inspirational denims that reflect our diversity and collaborative working style. In this site, you can sample our unlimited creativity."

Why do I care?
Because if no one does this kind of global blueprint sellers especially the ones that have influence over the Arab world, become so bold as to approach KAABA with a shopping mall / stadium / fancy hotel attitude!

Remove The Ottoman Arcade, bring The British Grandstand! What a nerve!!!
And when it's extended there are 48? Prayer Halls and they remove the Gateways/Minarets as well!
It's not the pointed arch that makes a building Islamic Architecture but respect, love, and praise..
