Where's the beef ? er, the URL ??   <g>

Hey, Tvo ? I don't know whether your previous 
list of architecture links would show me how 
my Ma's house, among others, was built when 
she was a kid back in the shifting borders between 
Poland/Ukraine/Russia/etc. After numerous 
iterations I have a pretty good image in my mind 
(such as it is, currently) of the process. But 
the adage about "A picture is worth a thousand
words" still applies ..... Thanks ! and I'll be
clicking on those links later ....

Toni

tvoivozhd---I've got to spring for forty bucks---this  free browser has
too-long URL's   for the websites it runs across.

http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~camiling/Walden.htm  (war-ravaged Philippine
account.)

http://pkukmweb.ukm.my/~mbz/unload/u2001dis/u2001dis.html  (Wonderful
Public Schools, savior of the poor around the world---home-schooling
didn't exist, doesn't exist for them and for the masses couldn't cut it
anyway.  Computers could change this, but only for those wealthy enough
to own computers and subscribe to prohibitively expensive phone lines
and ISP's or more expensive broadband)

(Filipino Architecture, stilt houses, bamboo floors that pass air from
beneath, folding windows, ladder for entrance.)

(Viet Nam Architecture, older forms more functional in a tropical
climate, more esthetically pleasing too, easier to build---this is the
sort of thing I am looking for, but so far unable to find---this sort of
a house, surrounded by garden, orchard, animal enclosures---lot like the
"M.G.Kaines "Five Acres and Independence" book.)

(aquaculture in Philippines---growing,raising fishfood a lot cheaper
than importing it.)
