Have you seen the quai Branly museum in Paris? Same concept multiplied by 100....
Commented on The Fly: The Opera
I say The Fly opera in July in Paris and LOVED IT! There is nothing even remotely resembling an aria--or a melody. It's like gleefully discordant horror music. Watching an opera Diva in stirrups while her lover climbs on the...
Commented on Place-settings that look like model-kits
Wow! Those look perfect for the next time I barbecue...at Martha Stewart's house. Three courses and only one plate? Methinks I see a dining etiquette faux pas....
Commented on Kids can't "go out and play" anymore
There are still plenty of kids who play outside here in Utah. It may also have something to do with family size. People with half a dozen kids are all too happy to send them outside. If something happens, they'll...

The Caixa Forum in Madrid has a pretty impressive vertical garden, http://www.flickr.com/photos/foca71/2559786775/in/set-72157605524908232/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/foca71/2560607732/in/set-72157605524908232/...

Pshaw! Seems like nowadays everyone's got some kinda green wall thing going. Whatever happened to that living-grass-as-indoor-carpeting ala Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land"? Might be the only grass we could actually sit or walk on around here, what with all the fire ants......

organic concrete = mud "It’s a zone of multiplicity, where meanings and actions float between the unsaid, resulting in dynamic entities." That sentence is still causing me problems....

The difference between this one in Brazil and the one that Blanc did in Paris is that this one is actually using native plants (tillandsia aka airplants planted in photo above). The one in paris has pumps and filters and a whole scheme of machinery and fertilizers running behind the wall. Blanc also used tropical plants and tropical plants will not survive in Paris. Blancs living wall is a just a really expensive and high powered floral arrangement. This one in Brazil makes TOTAL sense because almost all airplants are native to Brazil and airplants will cause no structural damage...

#75 - "I don't give a crap about statistics, its my duty to protect her." I don't even know where to end with responding to a comment like that, but I can say 'thank you for leaving your critical thinking aside.' To those who also say, there's no where to play, and anywhere they can play, it's been locked up/they'll sue/I'll be arrested etc.....remember this. When you did (or say, IF you did) go out and play as a child, and you had the luxury to, didn't you find places NO adults would see you? And make that your king/queendom?...
