Less is more and flat packing is even better.

I was thinking about this topic the other day, but since I'm probably the worst writer in the universe I couldn't get it out of my thoughts and into words. I'm into flexible architecture lets say portable architecture and if it moves (kinetically)... even better. I really think that's where this period is heading. Back to Less is more and less which could flat pack is even better (thats my opinion at least). People really do need to live within their means and even though I love to shop I always try to get the best bang for my buck and have refrained myself from the Fendi and Manolo pumps, because lets face it I'm just going to end up scratching them and than freaking out about it. . I love quality material things but there is nothing in the world that I enjoy more than getting rid of stuff. So in this new era of Architecture I'm pretty sure we won't go brutalist again or cold modernist but it is definitely the era of recycling, weather that is building green or appreciating the existing landscape and letting go of the urge to meet the Jetsons.

5 cent Architect all over the news.

I first heard of John Arthur early January on a high rated television network. A month later he is on my local newstation ( there a little behind). Nether the less this young guy had one of those ideas that seemed so easy and practical but no one had done before. We're all sitting at home or working our none related jobs and complaining about how bad the economy is on our chosen professions... but than again look at John he found a way. I wonder what I can do to strike big on the idea department.The guy isn't even AIA he is an intern architect as so I'm I. He has a website if you like to see how John Arthur Morefield stroke big on the idea department just by charging 5 cents for his time click here.
