I did not. But then I am not an architect or spouse thereof.

London-based printmaker and illustrator. Needs a new, non-Flash site.

"Let’s rate our technologies for how much they help us as primates, rather than how they can put us further into this dream of being powerful gods who stalk around on a planet that doesn’t really matter to us."

Took ages to get to this but was well worth the wait. Superb.

"Shard 2012 is an online exhibition of 'future photography' of the Shard exploring some of the vantage points from where the Shard might be photographed in 2012 when it is completed."

"a programme of curated music that sits at the intersection of sound, architecture and experience"

"This summer, on a Southwark playground in the heart of London, award-winning Berlin-based architects Köbberling and Kaltwasser will work alongside volunteers to create The Jellyfish Theatre, London’s first fully-functioning theatre made entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials."

"The V&A will be staging a contemporary architecture exhibition in June 2010 exploring the power of small spaces. A number of international architects have been asked to design structures which explore notions of refuge and 'retreat'. These buildings which examine themes such as play, work, performance and study will be built at full-scale in various spaces within the V&A."

"A pure AS3 micro-architecture (framework) with a light footprint and limited scope. Simply put, Robotlegs is there to help you wire your objects together. It provides the glue that your application needs to easily function in a decoupled way."

"A Treejack survey will show you the parts of your IA that work well, and the bits that need more work. Get answers to questions about which labels work best, whether a structure is too deep and where to put certain types of content. Think of it as analytics for a website you haven't built yet."

"Map of primary areas where height is constrained through the definition of the Viewing Corridors, Lateral or Background assessment areas of protected vistas."

"Over the past 2 months the city government, in cooperation with business groups and non-profits, has turned a corner of one of the busiest intersections in San Francisco into a public plaza. The 17th Street Plaza project took 72-hours to implement, and is carefully called a “reversible trial.” Like the phrase “reversible pilot”.

a term used in the history of architecture, design, and archaeology. It refers to a derivative object which retains ornamental design cues to structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar, such as copper cladding on zinc pennies or computer printed postage with circular town name and cancellation lines."

"The fabulous absurdity of the media "debate" between Prince Charles and Richard Rogers is that each is a historical relic. The prince is a throwback to the 18th century and beyond, the architect is a suntanned survivor of the 20th. We are now in the 21st, a century with priorities of its own. Charles's unreflective and ludicrous enthusiasm for anachronism in architecture has its equivalent in Rogers' dogmatic and doctrinaire insistence on aesthetic conflict with metal and glass."

"You’d think that with the futuristic and gravity defying creations they spawn, architects would be leading the vanguard of efficient working practices. It turns out they’re still stuck in the 90s, where sharing files and collaborating with partners and clients is done via CD and bike messenger, or – shock! horror! – even printouts sent by post." I don't find that surprising in the least. Woobius looks interesting, though.

"Once the manic burst of building has stopped and the whirlwind has slowed, the secrets of Dubai are slowly seeping out. This is a city built from nothing in just a few wild decades on credit and ecocide, suppression and slavery. Dubai is a living metal metaphor for the neo-liberal globalised world that may be crashing – at last – into history."

"Object Oriented CSS allows you to write fast, maintainable, standards-based front end code. It adds much needed predictability to CSS so that even beginners can participate in writing beautiful websites."

"For the past few months I've been touting a presentation around the BBC entitled 'How we make websites'. It's a compendium of everything our team has learned from long years developing /programmes, the recent work on /music and the currently in development /events."

"A software pattern considered a derivative of the Model-view-controller".

"A series looking at different aspects of guardian.co.uk's rebuild and redesign project, which ran from October 2005 to September 2008." Must read.

"A global firm of designers, engineers, planners and business consultants."

Great idea, massively overpriced.

"The best way to get to the point of needing more is by optimizing for today. Use the strengths of your current situation instead of being so eager to adopt the hassles of tomorrow." Half agree, half disagree.

"My attempt to disentangle and examine the topic of "Internet platform" in detail. I will go at it by identifying three distinct approaches to providing an Internet platform, and project forward on where I think each of the three approaches will go."

"This page collects all my published work related to information architecture and user experience."

"If we could do it all over again, we would have definitely handled our urls and account settings using a Flickr style setup using folders."

"The Landmark Trust is a charity founded in 1965 that rescues and restores historic buildings at risk and gives them a new life by offering them for holidays"

Whizzy modular office furniture.

"There’s one aspect of URL design that is often ignored. Good URLs should be unambiguous. By that, I mean that any logical piece of content should have one and only one definitive URL, with any alternatives acting as a permanent redirect."

"Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities is so called because it asserts that what makes up a city is not so much its physical structure but the impression it imparts upon its visitors, the way its inhabitants move within, something unseen that hums between the

"A poncy name for the very simple idea of grouping related styles into separate stylesheets. The same set of tasks turn up on project after project and a little careful thought can save hours of foundation work, allowing you to get on with the serious bus

"Information architecture and Web design are often considered mutually exclusive."

The pubs section is worth a gander
