is this still alive?

I'd like to randomly post in here. To let each other know that we're still alive. And to at least have this thing keep going. It seemed like it was going to work but then our lack of support, faith, or whatever it is... simply killed it. So here's one post of:

HELLO!

OBJECTIVES:
The sponsor provides support to foster an appreciation of the
aesthetic potential inherent in the structural design of buildings,
bridges, and other major works of architecture and engineering. The
fellowship will encourage an awareness of visual impact among
engineering students and their schools. By enabling the fellow to
experience buildings, bridges and other structures first hand, the
sponsor’s hope is that the student gain a critical appreciation of
the
aesthetics of structure, thus influencing the teaching and practice of
structural engineering in the future.

ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applicants are students graduating with with a Bachelor’s
degree, Master’s degree, or Ph.D. in Civil or Architectural
Engineering with a specialization in Structural Engineering from a
U.S. school between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Candidates must
intend to enter the professional practice of Structural Engineering in
the field of buildings or bridges.

FUNDING
One fellowship of $10,000 will be awarded. (kww)

KEYWORDS: Architecture

article ideas

what kind of articles is this supposed to have? i've just been thinking along the lines of world events, politics or philosophy..

nd is the website fr fshbwl up yt?

schooooool

I dont know if this is going to inspire any ideas, but...

What if instead of going to school like we do now, we tell some "institution" what our intentions are, they give us certificates of study, like licenses to pursue different subjects, and then we update them on our progress along the way, and as we research further and become more of an authority in the field(s) of our choice, we are presented different certificates of achievement. Then we could learn and progress as an individual at our own pace. And we wouldnt have to wake up for 8 o'clock classes.... man...

idea list for means

So I figure that we need to start compiling a list of article ideas

I have started said list with the ideas I remember

Please if you have any ideas for articles, send them along to me

Send them in the format of a title, and a blurb explaining the direction

Also say if you would like to write the idea, or if its up for grabs

I will compile them and then later we can assign writers.editors.graphics

When we have a bigger list, we can start having weekly meetings with the editors and writers so that they articles get done sooner than last minute nonsense

so send away everybody

Urban Lessons from Disneyland

“To all who come to this happy place – welcome.” Walt Disney walked up to the podium, and with these words a new world was born.
Once entering the park, one passes under a bridge for the miniature Santa Fe Railroad, where a centrally placed plaque meets every guests' eye with the phrase, “Here you leave Today / And enter the world / Of Yesterday, Tomorrow / And Fantasy”. The effect of this entry sequence is phenomenal, as this passage opens onto a land removed from specific time or place. Yet, Main Street, U.S.A. is filled with recognizable architecture and institutions from years past. This place detaches its guests from reality, creating its own existence in the imaginations of its inhabitants. Most of all, however, it is the separation from the present that has the greatest contribution to the creation of a new reality.
Disneyland was conceived as an alternative to a movie studio as a tourist destination, and in that same instance works nearly the same. The stories that Disney is known for are created with the same basic principles of movie sets – false stages, floats, backdrops, facades, and the combination of timing with the power of illusion. In every corner of this park is the essence of stage presence.
The potential effect of this land was unknown at the time of its inception, but it has had an astonishing influence in the world of architecture and urban planning. Malls, communities, even entire cities are now being planned with the same ideas of narrative that Walt Disney and his team of Imagineers employed in the design of this fantasyland.
