wow.


so w/ respect to our conversation today, this is relevant, i think:
christian kerrigan's growing architecture

another biennale + dhaka water conference

ok, so core77 has a feature report from the biennale in rotterdam (earlier this year, i think)
some things relevant, some things arrogant, some things mundane

also, for dhaka: there's a conference in march of 2007 regarding water & flooding, and the sponsor organization has an interesting site. checkitout.
