thank you everyone who had comments about AREA. the questions about the relationship between e10 and AREA are important ones. i have thought about that relationship, and how the two can work together. i don't really know the answer to those questions. in many ways, i don't see the difference between e10 and AREA - they are just different names for similar ideas. AREA is planned for this summer (contingent upon enrollment) and i will be mailing posters to 450 schools of architecture and finishing a new web site by mid-January. i would like to hear your ideas about what the program can do in one month that could facilitate future activities at the site. the students this summer will not live on site, but perhaps create a future place for exhibition, residency or experimentation.

lindy, the AREA website is currently only a sketch and not for public distribution. you will find it here.

here is the EARTH ARCHITECTURE web site.

Since we are on the topic of my poor web skills, I have somewhat improved the look of my earth architecture blog, which is a running list of my own notes and memos regarding earth arhcitecture found on the web. it is in beta release, and if anyone is interested:

EARTH ARCHITECTURE


surf through the archives and tell others about it.

matthew,

thanks for you comments. the website does not use any FLASH. it is simple html with an animated .gif

i'm glad to know that there are font problems. i tested it on the PC and mac with various monitor sizes, so maybe the font setting on your browser is set at a very small size. if you are using explorer, go to the view pulldown window and select text zoom to be 100% if this doesn't work, then i know something is wrong in the code. lindy, is the text too small for you?

the website isn't the final website. there are several typos and assumptions. it will evolve as the program becomes more real, if it is able to do so.

i don't understand your comments that suggest something is unfair, or uneven, but i look forward to seeing your, and other projects.

Lindy, watch your mouth!! :)

When the power went out in Ontario this summer during the biggest-ever blackout in North America, one suburban house near Toronto still had the lights shining bright.
