Killer one liners and cheeky put downs

Good evening. I was just trying to decide which platform to send out this blog post on. Normally I would Google+ it, or perhaps summarise it in a tweet or two. But not today though.

I decided that I'll update you via my blog site. Cool.

But before I go any further; to all my engineering brethren out there, I do go to SOME IStructE meetings... but the Architects ones are so much cooler, eh.

Don't you think?

Yeah ok we get to chat about celebrity status structures, and their impact on future design standards. I love that too.. but sometimes I just want to see some passion and nurturing going on.

Not that we don't do it in our own peculiar way... but Architects seem to feed off of each others differences and egos. You bring together a design of Architects and you have creative collision combined a healthy dollop of respect for one another - no matter what your educational back ground or flavour may be. It's fantastic and I love to see that.

Sometimes I think that we need that too.

Our industry is so knowledge and technology driven that we forget to have fun with our debates and ideas sometimes.

I want fun too. That's why I supplement my CPD with some good old fashioned diversity.

So tonight the Building for the Future team have laid on another thought provoking debate: THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT OUR CITIES ARE NOT PREPARED FOR AN AGING POPULATION.

As always, I anticipate some killer one liners and cheeky put downs.

I'll let you know more about it later this week...
