		<title>Oil for food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to untangle the conflicting feelings of grief, frustration, exacerbation, guilt, complicity, and denial that swill around with the millions of barrels spewing from the seafloor wreckage of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead.  Progress in capping the well is maddeningly slow, perhaps because BP is only pursuing solutions that would...]]></description>

		<title>Home on Lagrange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clarke presents a solution of what promises to be a problem of the physical legacy of the early history of space exploration: what to do with obsolete but significant space hardware?  The inevitable end of the International Space Station’s (ISS) lifecycle is perhaps the most significant chance to begin to answer this question...]]></description>

		<title>FLÄTPÄK on Kickstarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m seeking funding for a little project over at Kickstarter.  I was inspired by the success of the Lasersaurus project initiated by Nor/d.  Hopefully, we&#8217;ll do as well as they are! I want to draw an assembly manual for a LACK coffee table from IKEA that documents every step of...]]></description>

		<title>Real-life virtual architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heatherwick&#8217;s Shanghai Expo pavilion is a precious object for on our screen, one that we can seem to relate and place ourselves within and around without having to actually leave our chairs. If you haven’t seen the pictures/video of Thomas Heatherwick’s UK Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo AKA the...]]></description>

		<title>Martian Mormons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Mormons would make great interstellar pioneers. Today M.ammoth pointed me toward an article in the New Atlantis by Rand Simberg, an aerospace engineer and blogger.  Simberg lays out the fallacies as he and many in the aerospace community in NASA’s re-tread of the Apollo program.  In short, he calls the space agency and government to task...]]></description>

		<title>Slow architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Arch Daily rooted up a lovely little Truffle this week.  Duh, not the kind you eat, but a modest building project by Ensamble Studio in Spain.  I want to call it process architecture (though it’s not at all something Phillip Glass would think up) but given its gastronomic nomenclature, maybe...]]></description>

		<title>Launch AgriCulture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do spacecraft achieve their form? Generally, they are little more than aggregations of related hierarchical engineering choices. Sometimes, a single decision becomes policy and guides all subsequent choices. Tangentially, what is the life of the spacecraft once its mission is complete? In its obsolescence, the spacecraft expands its mission...]]></description>

		<title>RISD Dormitory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A dormitory is not a fortress. Th e irresistible economy of mashing multiple typologies together creates an unwanted juxtaposition of private and public uses and activities. A front door serves not only as a threshold between a home and the street, but also a proscenium under which the first scenes...]]></description>
