A Daily Dose of Architecture, 2004-2018


Yes, it's time to pull the plug on A Daily Dose of Architecture, which I started back in 2004, five years after I started A Weekly Dose of Architecture (I ceased the weekly doses in 2014). More accurately, it's time for A Daily Dose of Architecture to morph into something else — what that is will be announced on the first day of 2019.

Why stop A Daily Dose of Architecture? Because:
  • I've been preoccupied more and more with other tasks (World-Architects, writing books, walking tours, freelance writing, etc.), so I've had less time to devote to this "(almost) daily" blog;
  • Most of the content that would have ended up here now makes its way into the World-Architects Magazine, where I'm Editor in Chief;
  • Although there is still a core of great contributors and photos (around 100,000 of them!) on my archidose Flickr pool — from which I would grab photos now and then, to the tune of more than a fifth of my 5,000 posts — it has become overrun by irrelevant photos, watermarked photos, and photos with privacy settings that don't allow me to embed them on this blog (furthermore, recent changes to Flickr have me considering canceling my pro account);
  • I want to change my blog into something that I will want to post about nearly every day.
With that explanation, thanks to everybody for reading and following this blog over the years. Don't unsubscribe, unbookmark, or unfollow just yet though. This URL isn't going anywhere and won't become just a stale archive of old posts; it will continue in another form. Stay tuned. John Hill via A Daily Dose of Architecture http://bit.ly/2Rixqwv

Geo-Matrix Towers Span Across Oceans To Connect The Planet

Resim
Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean. The towers are also self-sufficient and mine minerals from the water as well as farm to support their communities. Research and manufacturing also feature heavily. The connections of the g
