oslo opera 540x376 ARCHITECTS CONSULTING SKATEBOARDERS: HUH

According to a recent Wired article, architects of the new Oslo Opera House in Norway used local skaters to conceptualize and refine the flowing lines of their colossal new civic project. For real? Apparently this was also the case with a number of Barcelona based urban structures, most notably the giant slate wave that runs along the water just below the Forum. I hate to say it, but I had a hunch. It seems European architects get hyped on seeing their spaces actively and creatively used by young people. Huh. That sure beats skatestopping every square inch. Although, in all honesty,  skating on an incline leading straight to the North Sea might give me cold feet.

    Good Morning

    This is sort of a continuation to a different post earlier (that I can’t seem to find) discussing ESL & English Second Language Software. So I’ve done my part by trying to investigate as much as I can.

    I found that out of all the English Study courses, the QGroupPlc ( Website: QGroupPlc.com ) offers the best services for the most affordable prices. The QGroup online study courses teach Grammar, Vocabulary, Spelling & more.

    The ESL Study Course are great for for business, and I’m so happy that I finally found one!

    Let me know what you think, and I would love to know about other sites offering these kinds of courses, I’m hooked. Besides that, I’m also looking to become an affiliate of English Vocabulary Software to make some extra cash http://www.verifiedfile.com/images/smile.gif

    Thanks http://verifiedfile.com/images/smile.gif
