	from what I gather these... from what I gather these designs never obtained a maker's mark, making them very difficult to identify. being a beatles and furniture nut, i would love to see some of it. if it was good, at least marginally, i would want something from the collection. it's obviously not something you see everyday.

	... to get out of the chair. The "Hill House Chair" by Charles Rennie Mackintosh was never intended to be used as a chair so it is difficult to judge but for a short cup of tea it's fine. I got other comments but these small people have such low volume voices that it is very hard to understand them...but they all seem to agree that they are pricy, but that's my interpretation of their sign language.

	1954 I believe you may have a circa 1954 version based on the style of upholstery. It's difficult to tell from the pics, but are the shockmounts larger than the later models?

	When I wanted my LaFonda shell reupholstered, my friend who did the work (Remnants, in Minneapolis) said "as long as as the edging was in good condition because I can't get the replacement edging..." So, apparently, the plastic or rubber edging is the difficult (or impossible) component to locate.

	"But considering the general... "But considering the general protectionist attitude in the U.S. Basically the policy is: We want to have the right to sell to everybody but we will make it as difficult as possible to sell something to us. " Protectionist policy has not been the general rule for quite a long time now in the US, either with consumers or with policy makers. But relating to the subject -- is Knoll not the finest rendition of the Barcelona chair that ever there was? And if so, why? And if not, why not?

	... be difficult to print on a curved surface. I think, Jeremiah, that you're missing some of the more constructive criticism in the group. Criticism which you should have gotten used to and learned to value at art school. Nobody is suggesting that you shouldn't make money, but money isnt the simple be-all/end-all factor in either art or design. If you want to make money go design office cubicles. Or paint landscapes. Both fields are fairly saleable. However, if you're interested in being creative take some of the advice here and apply it. Push yourself b ...

	... but, wonders if it would not be the role of the modern architect to re-create these same effects?assuming that they are needed?or the most significant and relevant part of it, with a more innovative form language, in other words with contemporary and re-thought means?If that is the case, I have to agree that his expectations have not been met. It is not different from Frank Gehry?s often quoted comment on context and his unwillingness to take it into account. One can not question the measure in which he succeeds in taking the context into account if it was ...

	... it probably inspired/intimidated them to come to be a part of the church ordering of society. How ya gonna say no to an outfit that worships the sacrifice of a human being and that forces its priests to wear black and go without sex? Talk about difficult fellows to persuade toward tolerance about the virtues of worshipping trees and sex out of wedlock! But I digress. The medieval cathedrals had what I also previously called the wow factor of high church ceilings. Movie theater operators employed a similar design strategy in the 1920s and 30s. They built hig ...

	... think about Eames? Or a cantilevered chair and not think about Mies? To quote Mies himself: "A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier." When we think about great designers we almost invariably think about their chairs. Eames, LeCorbusier, Saarinen, Wegner, Jacobsen, Breuer, Panton etc. etc. Their chairs are often microcosms of the rest of their work - and in many cases overwhelm what we know of the rest of their work. Still, it is an admirable and quite difficult challenge! I hope, if you pursue it, that you update us with you ...

	... and cut man I am sure I will need all three of them. I do not think that anybody on this forum has to feel classified on one level or another and I am sure we enjoy as much the fire truck show of Charlie Brown than the Dead Sea scrolls conference of Linus If your question of the height of the building is more than a rhetorical one and requires more than the symbolic and acoustic reasons that were suggested, I think we agree. Without breaking neither any of St Benedict rules amended by St Bernard, nor any of the great traditions in building churches in and o ...

	... be art, but it is a very difficult path to maneuver. So far the only piece that has really stood out amongst your art is the Bertoia chair with the twist ties. Part of it is the Eva-Hesse-on-acid vibe, but its real strenght lies in your confounding the utility of the original object - like a book with a padlock through the covers, or a bicycle with square wheels. And, the Bertoia piece, knowingly or not, relies the least on the iconography of the chair and more on the use of material. As for selling the pieces, good luck. (sincerely - not sarcastically) ...

	. How would you have put in a radius in the corners? Seriously would be grateful for a tip if theres a better way. I could have cut a radius in the leg before glue up but that would have left a very sharp delicate little area of end grain? Sorry this is probably difficult to imagine without seeing it. Like in this Wanscher chair, do you think the pieces were individualy shaped with their radii and then all put back together? I think the sides would have been glued up in a tapered "H" and then template routed and the arm done last? No?
	so against passive solar design	1 Relevance	18 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	so against passive solar design so against passive solar design you'd call this active solar design? Would still be a net energy loss in rotaing the screen? Perhaps if each occupant had an entire floor there could be seperately rotating rings, manually controlled, but what if there is a balcony, could it only work for cylindrical buildings, which are inherantly difficult? Its a very complex project.
