Yes It Is True, It Is The First Time in the History of My Reading The Sydney Morning Herald Online That Architecture Has Made It To The Front Page

And of course, it concerns, Mr Black, Mr Smith, Mr Pitt on a site visit to a prototype eco house in New Orleans. The house is the winning entry in a design competition that was won by Workshop APD and features Soy Based insulation among other energy saving gear, centred around making cutting the cost of building and the ongoing running costs the house.

All worthy, all good.

However, given that housing affordability is proving to be one of the major points of debate in the upcoming Australian federal election, why does it take a celebrity in the United States to get front page coverage?

Well, aside, of course, from the fact that architecture makes for rather dull news. Maybe the RAIA needs to start hassling Russ to be our advocate…
