RE: Completely, waaayyyy OT: Architecture - Personal
OK, this is so far off topic, ... anyway I've always been a minimalist in a lot of ways when it comes to style. Style in fashion, architecture, whatever (except I'm a hoarder, but what are you gonna do?). I'm a big fan of what we in the US call Scandinavian Modern furniture design (wood, leather, a little glass, lots of clean straight lines with relieved corners and edges, a few gentle curves). Shaker and Mission home and decorating design also appeals to me. Frank Lloyd Wright was pretty good, but needed to get over his feminine side and be less frou frou. That's sort of a summary of my style self. On PBS (US federal government funded TV) a few days ago, I saw an episode about Huf Haus. It's apparently an English company founded by Germans that does semi custom prefab houses in a way not many USicans will find familiar. I discovered on their web site that my taste in houses and architecture leans toward the Bauhaus school. Great, now I've gotta go to the frickin' library. :-) I discovered a few years ago in Darmstadt that I also like the Jungenstihl approach. US Agent: http://www.dotgreenusa.com Parent Company: http://www.huf-haus.com It's sort of an alpine chalet meets psychotic glazier design theme. Anyway, I thought their designs might interest some of you, from an aesthetic point of view, even if you disagree with them. Yeah, that looks like the style of Mies van der Rohe (third last director of the Bauhaus school). http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Barcelona_Pavilion.html http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Farnsworth_House.html http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Tugendhat_House.html You see a lot more of that style of house towards the south and particularly the southwest in the U.S. Mies van der Rohe's style is more suited I think to warmer climates - easier to cool than keep warm during cold winters. Those big glass walls tend to make them lose a lot of heat. But it doesn't take much modification to the design to have those big slab roofs overhang enough to keep the glass in shade all summer long. And they work kind of like adobe, slowly absorbing heat during the day and releasing it again during the cooler nights. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Completely, waaayyyy OT: Architecture - Personal
From: Steven Desjardins I took a modern architecture course in college. I prefer FL Wright to Bauhaus. I am much more partial to a range of angles, eaves on houses, etc. I'm even a fan of Le Corbusier's Chapel. http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/ronchamp/index.htm I like building that have a bit of the whimsical about them. http://www.wayfarerschapel.org/your-visit/architecture-gallery/ Architecture is obviously a matter of taste and it would be nice if folks had more of a range of choices.

Granted it had more panes of glass, was smaller and I called it a greenhouse but in essence there were few differences (other than price - I bet this costs). More seriously, I have seen a building like this used as an office to a garden centre, where it disappeared into the landscape and worked very well. I find it difficult to see working as an annexe/garden room - much less a single residential building. This is much the same problem I have with the huf-haus buildings; I expect they work better if you have it placed in a well screened, individual, multi acre plot.

Is there a chance that knowing the location more precisely, I could find out more about them? If they're private homes, probably not, unless the development was some sort of news at the time. I'd be interested to learn more about them. I've always understood the panoramic views that can be had by locating one in a good open spot in a bit of land, but six sited very closely together with communal parking, struck me as rather odd, if for no other reason than privacy issues. I'm completely on board. Due to a childhood trauma, I have a thing about ground floor windows. But I could see putting the full glass treatment to the first level above ground, and any levels above that. For example, I've always wanted a house on high ground overlooking the ocean with a turret on top that's glass all around. Although the view behind is great, the bulk of the view is dominated by a motorway and one of the largest supermarket distribution centres in south-east England; this did not stop one being marketed and sold after a few months with an asking price of £985,000. I'm not sure if the location, proximity of other similar properties or the asking price shocks me most. Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm bloody well not going to spend a million pounds for a view of a motorway and a flippin' warehouse. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Well, if I can realistically expect to afford a completely custom home, it means the Lottery Fairy visited and price is, practically, not really an object. So, if I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream big. :-) Anyway, I'm more about the land than the house. If price is no object, I'm going to build a pretty modest house in the middle of a property as large as I can afford. There are limits, afterall. But I could easily envision living in a 300 or 400 m^2 (3-4000 ft^2) house on thousands of acres of land. Bob said that modern architects don't give any thought to the way people live. Having seen many new and extended older properties before finally ending up extending where we are, we often left houses (particularly new ones) wondering why spaces were divided up in such a way to look attractive but be poorly utilised - vast hallway and tiny downstairs reception rooms as an example. Yeah, wasted space is one of my pet peeves. A boatload of new relatively high-end housing was built around my area in the run up to the bursting of the mortgage bubble. A lot of them are sitting empty, so I go around and look at the ones that aren't locked up. I've gotta tell you, the vast majority of them are aesthetic nightmares, for a huge number of reasons including wasted space and rooms apparently designed with the specific purpose of making it impossible to place furniture without blocking doors or traffic flows. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I sold my Noct and all my ASPH glass rather than wait, sad I did sometimes but I sure do have more money in the bank (waiting to be spent on a FF Pentax DSLR of course ;-) Still have an M4 and collapsible Elmar 50 though, nice and just enough to qualify. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
RE: Completely, waaayyyy OT: Architecture - Personal
Hi Doug, On PBS (US federal government funded TV) a few days ago, I saw an episode about Huf Haus. It's apparently an English company founded by Germans that does semi custom prefab houses in a way not many USicans will find familiar. I discovered on their web site that my taste in houses and architecture leans toward the Bauhaus school. Great, now I've gotta go to the frickin' library. :-) I discovered a few years ago in Darmstadt that I also like the Jungenstihl approach. US Agent: http://www.dotgreenusa.com Parent Company: http://www.huf-haus.com It's sort of an alpine chalet meets psychotic glazier design theme. Architecture is something I find fascinating and something I enjoy taking photos of. About five years ago, a development of six of these were put up twenty mins walk from me in a gated development off a main road. I've always understood the panoramic views that can be had by locating one in a good open spot in a bit of land, but six sited very closely together with communal parking, struck me as rather odd, if for no other reason than privacy issues. Although the view behind is great, the bulk of the view is dominated by a motorway and one of the largest supermarket distribution centres in south-east England; this did not stop one being marketed and sold after a few months with an asking price of £985,000. I'm not sure if the location, proximity of other similar properties or the asking price shocks me most.

Malcolm The problem with modern architects is that they don't give any thought to the way people actually live. Take that house for example - useless if you like to throw stones.

Re: Fat cat vs. big ass
I Googled +fat cat v +big ass and got mostly images similar to yours, Brian. That is, big assed fat cats. At the same time, and because I have filtering set to off in Google search preferences, I got a selection of results that were definitely NSFW. regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) On 7 May 2010 20:46, Brian Walters supera1...@fastmail.fm wrote: On Fri, 07 May 2010 11:30 +0200, Dario Bonazza dario.bona...@virgilio.it wrote: Nothing to say, really.

One of my many regrets is never having seen them live, although I was the right age at the time. Then again, their shows were renowned for extreme violence on stage and in the audience, as well as between the stage and the audience. Missing them may have been good for my health. As compensation, I did catch the Pardon-Me-Boys with both Ignatius and Monica on stage at a Valentine's Day Ball circa 1990.
