Inhabitat has a great post about recycling plastic as a concrete aggregate. I’ve always wondered about the use of non standard aggregates. I wonder if we could do some sort of non standard aerated concrete which could be use as a carbon banking system? Just a thought.
ArchDaily has a few image of the new Pakistan Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo. Does this remind anyone else of an eastern version of Burnham and Root’s world’s columbian exposition buildings?
Shigeru Ban has made another paper towel structure, this time in London. The comments on Dezeen’s post about this show that people are just not that impressed this time. Maybe, if the tower was a giant Ferris wheel or something.
Architect Magazine has an article on the legal punishment of people for using the term architect without a license. This article is heartening to see that some starts are actually doing something about this. On the other hand, in the statistics that are quoted at the bottom, Virginia has not filed a single case in the last 5 years for this, which kind of makes sense considering their draconian laws which make it technically illegal to call my degree a Master of Architecture or to refer to myself as an intern-architect because I am not yet licensed. In fact, Virginia has no wording that is allowed for those who have an education in architecture but are in the process of completing their license, besides employee. Yet, IT companies can call any of their staff architects without impunity, HA!
