	Sorry, I'll try:	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Sorry, I'll try: Let's see; first there's the issue of fem/butch. Although no longer (if ever) as much discussed on the male side as it is in the world of our Lesbian sisters, there is still that distinction to be made. This gets interesting, of course, because to the straight male, ANY sort of gay man could be considered "more feminine." Really, there are at least three varieties of gay male, from an objective point of view: "fem" or "swish" (these terms are going to date me, to some -- no laughing, this is serious sociology, here!), "butch," or excessi ...
	may I add another aspect...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	may I add another aspect... Most religions are based on an oral tradition. The way I understand it's development is not unlike me quoting my mother. The distance created by the third person gives my statement or opinion more credibility. Very much like quoting someone in moral or other authority, say Einstein, Gandhi,..etc. give ones opinion the support of a recognized second opinion. But we can disagree with Einstein, and some do. So the next step in a democratic system is to go to the polls. Most religions skip that stage because they precede democracy by ...
	Functionalism	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Functionalism As it was demonstrated so clearly in other threads, this seems a difficult subject. I am not going to repeat what I already wrote but allow me to add a few other thoughts. Being agnostic with a strong interest for religion as a "human fenomena", I have often questioned myself about my own sources of morality and the mutual distrust between religious,atheists and agnostic people, on the basis of morality. If I am allowed to reduce it to two statements it would be on one hand the religious point of view of: What else could the basis of your moral ...
	...you are welcome	1 Relevance	23 years ago	koen	General discussion
	...you are welcome Yes, what was it about that green! It did so well considering that green has always been such a difficult color to sell. It is lighter than the official B.R.G. but it is somehow the embodiment of joy of that time. I am delighted to know these pieces in good hands...and I have a few left!
	Most religions...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... willingness to improuve on it. Design, no matter in which time or culture has always been about creating "better" conditions. Design is by definition not fatalistic, whereas most religions are. Most religious people put their well-being the the hands of a god and his "masterplan", which certainly reduces the need to intervene. On the other hand there are numerous examples of "design" in religions. The shakers have been mentioned but clothing is probably the area in which design has contributed most to religious life...and still does. From the variety of rel ...
	The two original chairs	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... prior to the chrome. In general it is difficult to come anywhere near to the durability of stainless (or chrome/nickel) steel surfaces. Olive's description came close, but nickel is also an important part of the stainless steel alloy. Most steel alloys are quite complex and can include a number of other metals, silicium etc. Most commom stainless steel (as in cutlery) are named according to the proportions of chrome and nickel. in that order. For instance Stainless steel 10/16, or 18/18. By the way, these are steels that could not be used for furniture beca ...
	Technology	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Technology Technologies, in particular mass production technology is indeed one of the key components of any design education.Unfortunately it is also one of the most difficult ones. The reason for this is based on three different considerations. The first one is that an in depth knowledge of the materials that are used and the technology that will transform them is important to make sure that the design will not have to be altered dramatically in order to make it producible. Alterations that often lead to a loss of visual and tactile quality and always lead ...

	Can it be doone Is your design possible? The manufacturing process of lamanting plywood has its limitations, and if specialist plywood furniture manufacturers are turning the work down, surely it is difficult to produce.
	agree	1 Relevance	23 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	agree i agree with azurechicken; otherwise you will copy an existing product (even unconsciously). knowledge is the base of our society nowadays, creativity can't be learned, how to be creative can. but designing is more than just intuition or knowledge, its a difficult subtle mix of knowledge, taste, intuition, character, mental and fysical level, ...

	You are correct. different... You are correct. different companies use the same "stock" photos. Don't buy unless you are able to speak to someone at the store about the chair. Ask questions. However, the LC(s) are not so difficult to reproduce.
	languages	1 Relevance	23 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	languages yes why not give it a try, in spanish, italian, dutch, german, french, but then the writers should understand that when they use difficult words (without a base in ancient greek or latin) it could be difficult to understand. And they should accept that we would answer in the language more suitable for us (i do understand a little spanish but i will never be able to answer). It would only enlarge our knowledge.
	labor intensive	1 Relevance	23 years ago	david-48	General discussion
	labor intensive The picture credit issue could prove very difficult.It is often hard to know who actually owns the rights to a picture,or who to contact.I have a feeling to reach certain designers would be very difficult,language barrier etc,it sound very labor intensive if all this is required.
	Dear Brandon	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Dear Brandon When selecting the proper paint, do ask for paint that covers linoleum but.... What you have on the floor is linoleum covered with a number of different floor waxes. Most of them will be synthetic, some might contain aromatic oils,(citrus smell, etc.)silicones, agents that reduce surface tention (to make it auto-polishing) In all cases it will either make the adherence more difficult or give no adherence at all. So the first thing to do is to strip the linoleum from all that stuff. Ask a professional cleaning service what they would use to strip ...
	Arts and crafts	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Arts and crafts Although William Morris, Ruskin etc. are important historical figures it is difficult to give them a spot in a thread comparing Modernism with Post Modernism. Webb's "Red house" is innovative because it has a typical organic plan, but otherwise it is clearly neo-gothic. Pre-Rafaelites is what art historians call a substantial part of Morris's contemporaries, but William Morris himself was clearly part of the neo-gothic mouvement. The mouvement had links with the Buron School in Germany and of course with Violet le Duc in France. Most of them ...
	cont.	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	cont. Toward the last third of the century it was clear that western society had gone into a different gear. Instead of moving at the speed of production, planning and building infrastucture, housing etc. it started to speed up to the speed of communication. At the same time most former colonial powers England, France, Holland, Portugal etc. lost their colonies. The combination of the two contained the clear message that there was not one culture, but many and that the idea of building a new form language had failed. Architects and designers were encouraged ...
