Oops!! : Architects are the most miserable professionals, according to a new survey
HAIRDRESSERS are the happiest employees while social workers and architects are the most miserable professionals, according to a new survey
EXCERPT from Scotsman.com (click here for full news)
Architect Richard Murphy, who runs his own firm in Edinburgh, said: "I myself am actually very happy and I think I can speak for my staff too, though as a profession it is hopelessly paid.
"Architects do suffer massive frustrations as the years go by and they are always having battles with such bodies as Historic Scotland as well as all the planning hoops you have to jump through.
"A lot of graduates study architecture at university without really realising what they are signing up to later in life. Being an architect is much more of a calling than a profession."

DESIGN : Re-Creating New Product
Let's think about it...
What other thing than LEGO & IPOD that we could re-create it?
Here's the concept: Merge two great product into one. Lego act as strong foundation, it has a solid ground and proven product but at the same time loosing it's edge; Ipod is totally a fad with no (sorry Apple lovers...) strong foundation, it has a great extension possibilities (look at their accessories!!) . Now, combining those two product will create a better strong product (well, not at that stage in case of Podbrix)...
..you also can figure it out from SONY-ERICSSON team...BALLY-MERCEDEZ BENZ...

DESIGN : From Book; Architectural Theory
their medium is called imagination. Yet whereas the painter simulates a new world, the architect intervenes in the real one, thereby establishing new realities.
All architectural designs contain a kind of utopian core; they renounce what is, in favor of what will or should be.
That said, the blueprint for the future must coexist with present reality;
