Oct 03rd, 2014 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so a “portable hotel”,(that means a little bunch of containers with a door and a window) of 80 (eighty) rooms is big news for this 4th class newspaper...
get - a - life
losers
Really Paul? Get a life for providing a temporary commercial solution for a business opportunity? I am sure the Goodwin Offshore and Premier/Noble will be rueing from your damning verdict as they carry out lucrative business together.
Oct 03rd, 2014 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Paul - as usual you demonstrate your 100% Thickness! This is temporary - ie suitable for a few years while something more permanent is built. They are used all over the world - except I assume Argentina where you just nail a few old bent sheets of tin and wood together and call it a shanty town - and live in it for a generation or two!
Oct 03rd, 2014 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i love how naive these islanders are.
Oct 03rd, 2014 - 02:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the bad thing here is how these 4th class newspapers manipulate their tiny brains.
it is funny they do all this noise because they are going to build a snoozebox, sleepbox or whatever. lol
What this shows is how the Islanders are moving ahead with developing their natural resources.
Oct 03rd, 2014 - 03:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyone know what the drilling program for dead cow is this summer????
Oil and gas production still falling in Argentina is it????
Of course it is, just as the import bill is still going up.
It is the Islanders who are laughing, all the way to the bank.
In Argentina they are just wailing and gnashing their teeth.

If this is the case,why do you continually post here ? Is it because your posts are 4th rate and admirably suited to this forum.
No “quality” paper would publish your diatribes so you actually should be thanking the publishers for their laxity in accepting your posts.

You are incredibly dense at times.
Unlike your poor self in Argentina, they have the money and viable economy to hire whatever experts they need - they don't need to rely on the local corrupt politician to tell them what to do and then award the contract to some local firm that embezzles most of the funds and delivers a cesspool in place of a palace...as happens de rigeur in Argentina.

Oct 05th, 2014 - 06:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Caledonian Modular will be the preferred bidder I imagine.
Our hospital has large wing added on to by them, other than seeing the construction phase, who would not be able to tell it is modular. It is ultra modern and clean, a tad on the small side for moving patients in beds, but other than that extremely good and a fraction of the cost of building it by the usual means.
Oct 05th, 2014 - 08:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0On the clever side, if and when the Trust decides to end the lease, which I doubt as I believe the structural maintenance and upkeep is part of the contract, the whole thing can be taken down again and removed.

Oct 08th, 2014 - 10:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0What you describe is construction and engineering.
Architecture is about design.
Which is why architecture is a seperate major to civil engineering and seperate from construction.
Design is what differentiates it from them.
You are clearly an angry person at where your life is at the moment. Shouting down and name calling probably gets you many places in Argentina but doesn't make you any less pathetic nor hide your lack of experience of knowledge.
You are the one that mentioned DESIGN back in post 15. But supposedly I don't know anything. You've probbaly pushed a wheelbarrow around as a labourer so I'll refer to your knowledge of construction. But you clearly have no idea about architecture.
You build to the design of an architect. In other words, you'll take orders from people like me.

Interesting to see how many design studios are needed also to complete the degree.
As per usual, Paul is commenting on something he knows nothing of. Just because I have sat in a plane doesn't mean I'm a pilot. He thinks that because he is a labourer that he knows about design.
I have decided to do urban planning and not architecture Ilsen. I straddled the border between the two for as long as I could but finally opted for urban design and planning as it interests me more. I hope to specialise in retrofitting urban spaces for public transport or bicycle networks.
But it is more than likely I will see people like Paul implementing my design. He has no idea about the design process because even I was surprised how design has to be taught. The problem with design is you don't design for what you want, but have to work out what others want/need.
But yes, while I could be Paul's future boss; Argentina won't be able to afford me. I'm interested in urban renewal while Argentina is becoming a byword for urban decay.

wow
you discovered the cuadratura del círculo with that quote. lol
the most important thing in architecture is architectural design, but you cannot design a shite if you don´t have a strong technical background.
and you are agreeing with me now, how the f*ck can you know something about design, history, theory, environmental and construction technology and communication with just 2 years in college?
bet you are studying to be a décorateur and that´s it.
I don't what you believe I'm doing. It is hardly important.
Oct 09th, 2014 - 02:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0But 2 years of university have given me a greater insight into architecture than you have.
You clearly stated: “what can you know about architecture? nothing.”
And I have shown you to be wrong. I know plenty about architecture. You can try to shout and squirm and deflect and change the subject. But I know about architecture.
I'm not embarrassed about my life so don't hide it like you do. I've always been upfront that I go to uni. Even its name and my course.
I'm currently sitting in the Lyle Theatre for a City Futures lecture. Post-modernity today.

Well you aren't on the islands. And you aren't an architect and yet you feel qualified to talk about it.
Oct 09th, 2014 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Look up the defintion of hypocrite Paul.
If you are truly stupid enough (extremely probable) that you believe every non-Argentine on here lives in the Falkland Islands, then you just prove the paucity of quality education in Argentina.
Fully 1% of the entire Islander population would have to be on here all through the day and night for such a farcical proposition to be even remotely true.
What someone like you, that is incapable of higher reasoning processes, fails to even ask yourself is; why?
Why would anyone lie? Actually claiming to be a Falkland Islander would only bolster my arguments and make you look more the fool.
Honestly the logic is for posters to pretend to be actual Islanders. It would bolster almost any argument on here.
Why a Falkland islander would pretend to be a urban design student from Melbourne Australia is just plain weird. What would the benefit that be? What do I could lie in wait for you to mention the lack of architects on the islands 3 years AFTER I joined this site?
My support for the Falkland Islands would have MORE weight if I claimed to come from there.
There seems to be an extremely good reason that you are unemployed. Even though you probably have no idea why.

I have to admit an architect is required but at the company that makes the modular system ( containers to Paul). But in the case we are talking about no architect is required in the FALKLANDS as everything is done in house.The containers are completely fitted out prior to delivery. I should know I have done hundreds. Go to Caledonian Modular for info.
