I did develop an automated revision update program using LISP and attributed titleblocks for ComEd back in 2002 though. It's a bit outdated but can still be ported to use on other platforms for various needs like I use here at my work currently. I did quite a bit of programming for automated drafting standards back then but we had 30-40 drafters plugging away at substation reworks and needed to keep everyone on the same page. I even set up an in-house intranet for new tools and instructions on how to use them. I was developing a Drawing Tracker software package and rev history as well as user login, plotting/paper use, and time spent on each drawing were tracked and logged. It's been a while, but I still dig into that stuff every now and then. If I have time that is. Lots of other stuff to do these days, but if I can automate a task, I'll pound out some code. Ain't technology grand? lol Oh yeah... architecture: This one always intrigued me with it's angles and split. It was also featured in a couple of movies and video games including one of my favorites, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2: Crain Communications Building - The Skyscraper Center

Yes, that's a good piece of design; it doesn't look that complicated, but still leaves you wondering about the geometry of it.

__________________________________________________ __________ I'm not usually a fan of the bigname celeb architects, but Bjarke Ingels has some good designs in his portfolio, including the Lego HQ building that was mentioned here months back. These designs look attractive but are hugely impractical: The first, I'm guessing has beeen built, but the other is surely just a fantasy project:-

Trying to accomplish many tasks at once in that design leaves it a bit open-ended and unfinished looking, but pictures can be deceptive too. I'd love to get up close to it to see how I'd really feel about it.

__________________________________________________ ______________ Here's a building that did definitely get built: Niteroi Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro:- Architect Oscar Niemeyer is best known for his part in the design of Brasilia, a city that brought him both fame and criticism, as the planned Utopia turned into something of a dystopia and as public opinion moved against that kind of huge, overbearing city plan. Even so, the place now has Unesco Heritage status and some cool buildings too - but thank god, I don't have to live there.

Holy **** a wraparound 2nd floor deck surrounding the bedroom? Ugly as **** but I'd live there.

The roof and the grey siding are awful.
