Right you two, but not me I had enough of old timbers, in particular I would not try salute near to that-

So I guess this PC guy will not help you build your boat after all. And SDR seems to have gotten burn out with the idea as well?

So no boat then?

[SDR]

Which particular brute are you referring to ?

[The Architect]

SDR, but you're so hot. You brute you!!


Take care...

[SDR]

100% freaks on this thread, fer sure. . .let's hope it isn't a "roach hotel for madmen" and we've all been identified as a group and will be snatched from our beds at midnight and eliminated for the good of architecture. . .

Pretty stout? Brute force. form follows function.

[P.C.]

There must be madmen around this list, Today I suddenly got an offer , Hardware where the optics alone ,,, well very few atleast here would even understand and yet, some guy hount a screwed image of me, of me as what I almost stopped making, 6 years ago for that I am blamed crazy I think , as how can a painter do all those bad CAD things, Suddenly I find this offer, mail and get an answer that I could possibly, get a particular optic at a fair price --- then I read at the web, that Per Corell is this or someone think Per Corell did that becaurse of that ????

Then you indicate that asking anything here, is proberly asking exactly the wrong place, just wonder, do anyone here know how pleasant it is to paint a painting ?

Jules Verne ?

[P.C.]

Guess maybe in a way -- A friend of mine, an awfull skilled english - danish designer who create these beautifull things. Steam engines ,Tugs , and yes some increadible submarine models, -- the foto is from his show window on the house boat he still live . When or if one of my Leitz projectors carry a foult or need repair, he is the guy to ask.

Brute force = Form Follows Function ?

So we have the brute force of modernism dictating that form follows function?

[P.C.]

Are you refering brutalism, well that is something quite different.

[djswan]

Form submits to function by force. Resistance is futile.

I've been playing with erupting form. I still find function in it.

Could Zaha or Gehry or Wright or Erikson design a boat that floats? I bet they would put thier ego above floating on thier list of functions. If it doesn't float it's not a boat.

Wright's chairs look very uncomfortable.

I haven't tested my max bench press since the boo boo on my shoulder. It was about 285lbs before. I may be "forced" to become a computer geek.
