We were sure we would win this one; a low-cost environmental
housing competition in Adelaide. |
Okay, so it wouldn't have been that low-cost.
A cheapish environmental housing scheme. Anyway, our once-were-good-friends at Troppo won it instead. They win everything. Our scheme would have been much cheaper than theirs with all their fancy shmancy irreverent doo dah look-at-me eco-nonsense going on. We like to consider ourselves a bit above that sort of thing. Ideas that last and all that. Perhaps our entry got lost in transit. It seems to happen a lot; to us at least. mental note: stop being rude to that guy from Australia Post |
Truth is, after 3 weeks of toil we decided to skimp
on the $150 courier and gave our entry to a kid on a bicycle who lives down the road. |
We entered this scheme with our long term collaborators
and great friends at Vim Design, who became DRAW, a young crew as naively optimistic as
we are (though much more talented with an all-round even more terrific sense of 'good taste'.
Adam still takes his tea 'white with one' yet orders his coffe 'as it comes'. I mean, How in hell are you supposed to make sense that? |
