cultural anthropology

the sum of practical knowledge: the sum of a society's or culture's practical knowledge, especially with reference to its material culture

for example, if you want to build a lasting home today, what would that take?

an architect & engineer are no longer adequate - maybe an industrial designer plus an energy efficency engineer may get the job done

the wave of the future demands harnessing more elements of technology, design, development & skill to deliver up to expectations

with the evolution of humanity, our material culture is no longer boxed into the mundane or the tangible only - it has morphed & mutated into a whole new species

if you have experienced any of Santiago Calatrava's "breathing" sculptures, monuments or buildings - you will begin to get the drift

if you've read any of Pico Iyer's nomadic travelogues, articles or books - you'll be infected

if you are mindful in each moment of your breath. . . .there is no escaping it
