Off-Topic

[Steelmillal]

I recently was on one of those free energy sites reading on Wang's magnetic motor (5kwh would generaly power everyone's house) and fell into a subtopic called Off-Topic.

I was wondering if beyond "General Discussions", given the numbers of very bright minds that orbit in and out, something of that description may be added to the list. It may be a bad idea.

Of course, it may also be only self-serving to corral my many mad mental meanderings that are only loosely, if at all, relevant some days but hopefully good for a laugh anyway 

Have a rest filed wknd Y'all.

That's a Great 'Reference' work, very nice.
I often enjoyed many discussions and Presentations along similar lines whilst working at the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for 20 Plus years, located in a lovely spot in Potts Point, (some pics of the Modern Institute building and Auditorium by it's designer Neil Durbach);
Tusculum, Royal Australian Institute of Architects

The Site, also 'Features' & includes a beautiful old Regency era building called "Tusculum";

(currently used for various Events and meetings etc, with the upstairs sections currently used by one of our ex Prime Ministers, Mr Paul Keeting.

That reminds me of a wonderful old building in MacQuarrie Street Sydney, (that was in fact THE very First Strata Title building in Australia), called the Astor.

Been a fan of the Daytonian in NYC for while. Detroit and Toledo nearest me had some amazing buildings, too, less so Detroit now. A guy golfed across the city a few years ago there was so many buildings missing.

YES, Very sad isn't it?

Some younger Architects based in and around Detroit gave a great talk at the Institute, some years back whilst they were here visiting and running some Workshops etc at one of the Uni's.

Detroit has changed so much, parts of it looked like the 'Proverbial' Ghost Town ...
