always good to see you, DBlume (One of my father's funniest lectures featured architect Arthur Erickson - king of "brutalism") Here are shots of the Simon Fraser University buildings Erickson designed, under construction (where early BG Caprica scenes were filmed). SFU's Architecture - Archives and Records Management - Simon Fras...

my dad despised "art over function" architecture. Quietly and pettily he collected photos & anecdotes from people who struggled to live and work in AE's buildings- which were invariably dark, depressing concrete tombs with every heating, plumbing, electrical and structural problem you could imagine.

(but shhhh I always though his buildings were very cool-looking)

pastilla, Ha, I completely understand that trade-off. Buildings I'd love to visit but wouldn't want work/live there.

this is like the "old school" conversations I remember, from, like, at SparkleSystemSix! If you guys are "alive" again on Plurk, I'm gonna have to check in here more often!

that UFO house is epic!
