“You picking on my cute, dumb Brothers and Sisters is really annoying me!”

Plumeria is so pretty and badass I love her!

That’s a pretty cool lookin’ bird.

Ke$ha is a perfect example of how the media loves to make intelligent girls seem dumb and bitchy even though they are actually smart and caring. Ke$ha isn’t far from being a feminist icon but the media continues to label her as a dumb drunk party girl.

Premaydena House Misho+Associates

The Premaydena house sits on a low podium on a largely wooded site on the Tasman Peninsula, south east of Hobart. The site faces north, on an inward curve of the peninsula, to Norfolk Bay. The clients came to the architect as the latter had already designed a house for them in Sydney. That house, framed by recycled timber screens, had in turn been inspired by a balsa model, by the architect, displayed at a Greenbuild Expo in Sydney several years earlier. This model expressed ideas the architect had been considering for his own house – lightness and light, simple module proportions, screening and layering. When the clients bought the 19-hectare site at Premaydena, the architect was asked to design a house based on the same principles. 

The modular of course has many precedents; it is still such a successful planning system as it offers, at least, transparency of technology and minimal use of materials. In the Premaydena house, the modular - boxes within and beside each other – generates a series of elegant living spaces that provide respite from the external elements and, in homage to the chashitsu, opportunities to re-engage with daily rituals
