Did someone say 'containers'?

My work is more function than form.

your job looks hard

Just the first few hundred, then I got the hang of it.

So apparently it's World Architecture Day. I did not know this.

One for Q-Man, this used to be our main stand at Villa Park, I know I'm biased, but I truly do think it was the most beautiful stand in the whole of football:

Around Villa Park, there are a few buildings that really fit in with this style.

Sadly it was demolished in 2000 and replaced by a new, modern stand. Capacity increased and much better facilities, but I think the ground lost some of it's charm with the demolition of the old stand. The main stand at Ibrox was based on it, as was the Holte End when that was rebuilt in the 90s.

yeah, that’s quite sexy.

^ I'm sure that similarity was intentional, and it makes a great building, with a very successful use of colours imo.

It looks more natural that way.

^ Good point. Here's a seaside town in Morocco that took your advice and uses blue paint for everything:-

What's my fabulous prize?

I also have my name on some drawings for structural mods for the Chrysler Building and the old Madison Square Garden Score Board from when I worked at a prestigious archy firm. I have to say, Architects are a strange breed. They work long hours for minimal pay, and it's a tough gig to stand out and make a name for ones self. I have the utmost respect for any one brave (read: crazy) enough to set out on that path.

SF doesn't have a really consistent climate. It's kinda like... yeah we're gonna do foggy first thing in the morning then it might rain it might not who gives a **** the afternoon? ah **** it let's be breezy and sunny and then lets some fog in once everyone leaves the house and evening time we'll do the usual slightly chilly wind and clear skies and in tomorrow we're gonna do this whole thing all over again except backwards. So architecture complimentary of nature's background is kinda... not possible.
