I found this on a Mail and Guardian article. Make's one think. Considering that we are all dying, should it only be the terminally ill who live as if they are? Here are the 4 questions to ask yourself about your life and relationships. If I were to die tomorrow, am I satisfied with my life as I'm living it? What, if anything, would I change? If I were to be given two years to live, how would I

First of all, ignore the reaction of banishment , While Architecture is a highly contagiousness deseas, if caught early enough it can be uprooted before it has chance to take a foot hold. And infect others with a life, of suffering - and pain at every badly built monstrosity, you and others do not have to live this way.There are some tell tale signs of infection.

Looking, at the news this morning the headline reads : municipal strike continues as talks falter, following on from if they don't pay us we will keep striking and swamu condemns strike violence.So a i did a quick search through the M and G article file, it turns out their last strike for 15% increase was in july of 2009 they got 11% , now i have not had one cent pay increase in 3 years, dispirit

Two executives , a cyclist and some random passer by all on a street...... sounds like the start of a bad joke right? Wrong ! This is the scene I witnessed this morning while driving to work. Right in front of my car this agro guy stops his car get out and goes after the guy in the car in front of him with murderous intent, torn cloths and a strangle hold neck grip later, with a bemused looking

Concernining the demise of imagination; what is it with poeple these days, If I must hear one more comment on, The time travelar wife, which incluedes the words, toughtouly unbilievable, I may just have yo delare, not unlike niche, imagination is dead. We have lost it somewhere in our internet genrarated univers, its gone on long enough, we must give the universal imagination a shock, with a

In my line of work ( design ) one often come's accross a client wanting just that something diffrent; Which may be why my house is decorated so incredibly dully. Its not that I am terrible at design or that I lack creativity, its more that I sometimes at our need for new and shiny. What is wrong with us that 'a huise bye die sea', two kids and a bicycle just doesn't cut it any more. Way do we

There have been, several posts about - the where to from here question? Buy a ticket to Australia, cash in your ancestral rights, to live in Ireland or Sweden? Buy a life times supply of tinned beans and move into your back yard bunker. But for those of you, who either can leave or wont, what does one do in view of the trajectory one imagines our country might be taking? here's the thing....Do

On reading the news in the last few years one my wonder ‘has the world gone mad? ‘Perhaps the question may better be put, what is wrong with our nation? A few weeks ago, while driving past a local night spot, I was caught in the midst of an act of violence. While walking down the street an incredibly drunk man arbitrarily decided to throw a bottle at a passing vehicle. The owner stop got out his

Making buildings beautiful So what is it exactly that you do? “Well I’m an architect” . Blank stare, “Oh that’s exiting”. More blank stares, and some muttering. You’d think that this statement would inspire more enthusiasm from people. But no, apparently beyond you design buildings right? No one seems to have a clue what it is I do from eight to five, or why on earth they have to pay so much

to begin with : So what about religion? To begin with : GOD said. Perhaps the biggest conundrum of our generation, of moral decadence. What do you do with Faith? Believe, in the existence of things unseen. When Everything is called upon to be quantified, when God is dead according to niche. And there is no ultimate truth. I’d like to take a moment to tell you why an educated 21

Being a twenty something child of the computer generation, I've noticed a recent trend.Something my parent would have called crowed mentality, or my grandmother running with the herd. The Uncaring and often concerning desire to be ---- " just like everyone else". Why do we do this ? What are we doing here on this green glob? How do we enable a future for ourselves ? Can we learn from the past?A
