"Carder is a "shed boy", a catchy term applied to a non-catchy lifestyle. It refers to people, mostly single men, who live off the grid and low-on-the-hog. Many of the homes aren't exactly sheds. They are boats moored on land, trailers, buses, vans, somebody's spare bedroom, a shipping container. For many, being a shedder is more attitude or necessity than address."
Wired 8/02 - PLAY/arts - Containment Strategy : "Shipping containers are becoming the bricks of the 21st century architecture. Inovative builders in the US and the developing world first turned these vessels of the global economy into houses and schools. Now the Dutch firm MVRDV wants to turn 3,192 of them into City Container, a temporary structure in Rotterdam Harbor. The walls (stacked 15 high), floors, ceiling, beams and elevator cars would be made of steel boxes. The complex would house galleries, hotels, restaurants, and proformance spaces for the planned Biannial of Architecture in the Netherlands, which is in the works for 2003."

Maya Lin talks about the Ground Zero tribute.
"When Ludwig Mies van der Rohe came to London in 1959 to receive the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, he was asked if he would like to visit some British buildings. His hosts imagined the great man might like to see the iconoclastic work of rising stars such as James Stirling or Alison and Peter Smithson. But Mies, the son of a Prussian stonemason, was keen to visit just the one building, in rural Wiltshire."

"Mysterious chalk symbols have appeared almost overnight in London, believed to be created by a gang of nerds set on revealing the city's wireless hot spots.
"Warchalking", as it is known, derives from the practice of tramps in 1930s depression-hit America leaving chalk messages to each other to indicate where they could get food and shelter.
Today, the set of symbols tells other geeks, or "Wibos" as they are known, where they can get a free wireless internet connection.
Symbols written on the pavement indicate whether the wireless network is open, closed or encrypted. Above the symbol is the network's Service Set ID (SSID), which is used to identify the particular wireless Lan to be accessed. Below the symbol is the amount of bandwidth on offer."
