People have to fucking change. They don't need to eradicate forests to do these things, there are plenty of sustainable architectural / eco living books out there. Plenty of space out in the desert and there is plenty of ocean water to filter. Plus, so much tech to help with this wave of transformation.

I do agree that simply put, people need to get snipped. Continue fucking but STOP having kids, please!

You got your order of ops wrong is all. Lead with the stolen hair shrine construction and then if the crush has lasted to the point of its completion offer it to your living idol as evidence of your unwavering affection and superior architectural artistry.

Killer pickup technique. Literally only ever failed me a few times.

passport...when I studied architecture in France, and cuz I let my hair grow this long again. (now where did I leave that arrogance?)

Ha! We need more of this: Architecture as Machine! So tired of Architecture as Object.

My senior thesis was to design a "multi-nodal theater" in San Francisco. It was in the form of a hyper cube, always in a state of flux, as stages and seating shifted and moved into new configurations.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Not her firs public lie, in fact she's been publicly lying about herself since she met Trump, with his help.
Apparently she's repeatedly claimed to have a degree she never had....she actually left college before completing (nearly failing) her freshman year and never returned....but her biography both online and in her introduction at the convention claimed.....
"began modeling at age 16, but she only began working full-time after obtaining a degree. She graduated “in design and architecture at University in Slovenia"

What a pair of enormous frauds. The Republicans have one hell of a ticket. This is what you get when your entire party gets their "information" from Faux news.

I was going to ask what is the advantage of block building over regular building in place (though I'm sure I've heard the explanation via Discovery Channel, History Channel or National Geographic Channel special on modern mega ship building) but found something that explained it well enough: http://www.marineinsight.com/naval-architecture/advantages-of-advanced-outfitting-shipbuilding/. So now just looking for a further ELI5 confirmation/explanation.

Architecture is LONG past the time to advance into the Machine Age. We've got toilets that wipe our asses for us, and our buildings are still big static objects. Buildings should be moving, shifting, walking away...

Me, too. There are technologies available and the will is present in the Architecture community to have active systems passively fueled. Just look at the Arab Institute in Paris, where the opening & closing window screen diaphragms are completely powered by the gas/air-tank heated by the Sun:



horrible vid, I know...I'll look for a better one...and perhaps many other examples as well.

Well we seem to be devolving into miscommunication, so let's all be clear! bareboards2, I was not singling you out at all. In fact, you have by and large been the image of civility, so much so that I picture you with a monocle while writing your missives to us.

I too think that MonkeySpank (god help us all) seems to have the most historical and accurate interpretation of the situation; one does not traumatize a people, be they Jews or African Americans for decades and decades and decades and then expect them to up and happily integrate. There's a reckoning that has to happen, and I am sorry if your lilly white ass didn't personally own slaves, you were born into a societal architecture created by those who did and you can't pretend the playing field is level. You can stare at your voting right's act, you can belly ache about how Ashley with her 3.5 didn't get into U State university while a minority did, but it doesn't change the fact that that there's a lot of redress to be done, and it'll take a LONG time to remedy. We have some signs of improvement, with prominent African American politicians and intellectuals taking the stage and garnering universal respect, but that's the tip of the iceberg, and we have a LONG way to go.

Basically, it's not an issue here because while anime characters are culturally Japanese (they speak Japanese, bow, eat with chopsticks, etc.), many times they also live in countries that are clearly NOT Japan. The ambiguous cultural status of the characters lets the writers put them in a variety of both familiar and exotic situations (i.e. going to a public bath vs. going to a high school prom,) which creates interesting tensions.

You see this a lot in anime like the Gundam series in which battles take place over several different countries on earth, as well as across space colonies, and yet everyone involved in the war, whether they have Japanese names or not, acts pretty damned Japanese all the time. Yet, the series incorporates non-Japanese elements as well. The building architecture of the Zeon space colonies, for example, is clearly European-inspired.

So Japanese people are used to the ambiguity of the "nationality" of their anime characters. I don't think Japanese people will have any problem with Scarlett Johansson unless the movie doesn't stay true to the character itself.

Now if a non-Japanese person had been cast to play Ryouma Sakamoto or some other real-life Japanese historical figure, I think there would be a pretty big reaction.

It took quite a bit of technical wizardry on Carmack's part to get scrolling worlds to work on PC architecture at the time.
I'm glad this was rejected, as Doom may never have been made had id gone on to develop PC ports for Nintendo.

It will eventually (when we can run PS4 emulators )

So are Team ICO developing this or not? It's certainly got that desaturated look of Ico and-and Shadow of the Colossus, in fact, it really does look like a PS2 game in terms of the engine.

But I care not one solitary rats arse about the engine. The animation is beautiful and the architectural design is stunning.

Ico and SotC were amazing games. They had great puzzles and genuinely engaging stories, all without a line of understandable dialog.

If this actually comes out, I will rent a PS4 to play it, and it will wreck me

Move over opera house you got competition for the coolest building in Sydney

Yes, semi impressive, but static scenes are in the end static. These are useful for architectural groups and the like to show off stuff. Virtual builds for a client to walk through.

For gaming, one needs to see the scene in a game like state with action going on, and high polygon models moving in and around the high polygon scenery. There is where we get our real test.

Still pretty, and we are getting closer and closer to near realistic stuff rendering out in real time.

Sounds even cooler in a large group. Highly recommend getting a guided tour through the whole site. Beautiful architecture and interesting history but also death. Lots n lots of death.
