I'm lovin' this thread too Apoc, and all the wonderful posts!
In terms of what I'll be posting- I'll be posting things I find interesting, not necessarily things I "like" or "approve of". Unless I say so explicitly in the post of course.

Might seem an unnecessary caveat in a thread such as this- but one never knows, does one? So I thought it best to make that clear...

Some pics of the crazy architecture in Dubai. A co-worker of mine goes there fairly often, and says its something that you should see at least once in life.

Architecture in Dubai is worthy of it's own thread, lol. I love the Sailboat building too. The interesting thing about all the massive new construction in Dubai is that so much of it was designed in toto. So, the Sailboat building was designed so that when the Rotating Towers are completed the Sailboat building will actually appear to sail. See the effect in the video below:

The World and the other artificial island complexes under development are unbelievably ambitious:

I'm intrigued by the "wee house" concept, and think my minimalist tendencies would allow me to live comfortably.

My favorite among the pre-fabricated houses are the LV series by Rocio Romero.

One side of the house is effectively glass, which lends itself to creating unity with the landscape, while design elements allow for natural air flow and light. I really like the utilitarian sheet metal siding and clean, simple lines. I don't like the idea of just plopping a box into the landscape, but these units are fairly easily customized to accommodate even challenging sites.
