	James... survival of the fittest is a very tricky concept as contemporary evolutionary biology has begun to reveal. It is not a simple notion of the strong survive and the weak perish and fail to reproduce, although it certainly has this dimension. "Fittest" actually refers to a vast constellation of factors and these factors related to each other dynamically in emergent complexity that is sensitively dependent on intial conditions. As a result, it is very difficult to make defensible assertions or forecasts about what will become of any species. Emergent co ...

	Where are you located? If yo... Where are you located? If you know what you want, and are willing to spend to have it made, this should not be a difficult task. I am in the mid-west and would have some suggestions in this region. You can likely order the marble from a stone dealer who specilizes in kitchen counters. as for the base - you need to find a weld shop and someone who can chrome steel. This may be the same place. If you have the deminsion a reputable welder out to be able to put this together.
	lofty intentions	1 Relevance	21 years ago	nickmundo	General discussion
	lofty intentions As an architect, I would recommend seeking prof advice, but if you've done some construction before or are ready to roll up your sleeves for the long and difficult haul, there are a number of loft books out there. Visit your local modern art museum bookstore, try Dwell magazine (modern, yet "friendly")

	... emerging in response: Alzheimer Marketing for Dummies. Oh, to cut to the chase, our minds are pretty crappy from the very start...full of nightmares, fears, prejudices and phobias. And then they are susceptible to being misinformed with the basest, cruelest ideas. And then once so misinformed very difficult to unmuddle. And of course neuroscience shows empirically that the massively complex neural network of our brains is highly prone to misfires and irrational burn patterns even under the best of circumstances. Eye witness testimony is most unreliable as a ...
	A bit late to the table	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	A bit late to the table I feel I have come to this thread a bit late. Reading whitespike's postings I can identify with his rapid interest and respect for the Eames. I am going through a similar obsession, to the dismay of many friends - who now forbid me from talking about chairs. My fascination with the Eames philosophy has led me to acquire a number of their pieces - and in a small space this becomes an issue of storage rather than design. My roommates alternately joke about me seeking a 12 step program, and offering to put more of their furniture into ...

I see three ways in getting out of this dilemma: 1 - Design is the tool for new products through material combination, research ... 2 - Design is the tool for solve practical or social problems (difficult one) 3 - Design goes away from mass production and becomes something very personal (like the carpenter in your neighbourhood but at a higher level Any opinions about this wacky theories?

	Koen	1 Relevance	21 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	Koen Also ? I know what you mean about being happy with an item but unhappy with how it occupies space. Smaller spaces are especially difficult. My own place is tiny and I have many objects that I fear parting with. It makes it an interesting challege .... one that sometimes eems to be one that cannot be won. Sometimes I consider downsizing the amount of items I have and getting even better items in fewer numbers. Then comes the sentimental value .... My items definitely say I have a great sense of sentimental value.

	... old vinyl so that they can get me leather in the right thickness and weight. I'm not sure what kind of texture I'll want, but I think I'll want a matte or low gloss leather to contrast with that shiny aluminum. The current black vinyl is low gloss and pebbled and has tiny round perforations (like sports car upholstery of the 1960s and 1970s) I have seen what those stripped and buffed old steel desks and pieces of office furniture look like...if I could get a few pieces with nice lines that at are well build and in decent shape for free or for a cheap price, ...

	... clamped to the bottom of wheel openings, for the purpose of emitting a sound when the car approached the curb. My new '88 Honda Civic taught me that I can no longer judge easily the width of my car, making parking more difficult. This was the first car I had driven in which the hood is invisible. Not being of a mind to install an offside mirror, I struggle to appear as an adult driver -- though I had never had this difficulty before. The price of progress ?

	... article I felt that it was difficult to do justice to that special relationship in what Stephen calls "Mainstream media"...I might be wrong. As to my preference for George Nelson over the Eames's, I think it is simply a matter of historical fact that the collaboration between the "entrepreneur" that Max De Pree was and the "designer" points to George Nelson and not to the different designers he introduced into the Herman Miller company.
	Hej Martin, Hi Don....	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Hej Martin, Hi Don.... I would hate to be submidded to Don's preference for teaching a person with "..a penchant for high concept and challenge..." because I would have been eliminated in that system, but as he concludes "...But it can probably be done either way..." It is difficult to put the finger on what triggered the transformation of education in design, from an education in skills and knowledge into a simple rite of passage. There is evidence of some sort of Darwinism combined with a false sense of democratisation playing havoc in the educational syst ...

	Would love to see what you have. While it seems extraordinarily difficult to post pictures directly to this forum (someone accomplished it once, I believe -- unfortunate for a design site, some might say !) you can link us to a photo album of your own, perhaps. . . Am not familiar with the term "fibro" -- or the siding material you mentioned. Dratted international disconnect !

Because of the thermopane you have to glue a strip of thicker glass there were normally there would be an aluminum of plastic profile (between the two sheets of glass)One the strip in place the three sheets should be grinded and polished together. It is not difficult for someone who can make thermopane, The key is to find someone willing to do it.
