architecture++

About

So what is this all about?
This is a small blog/bibliography/rantbox following an architecture student. Really it is just to help me articulate my arguments clearly by bringing sources of information together, and what not! Occasionally I will post work and stuffs so that I can organise myself putting text to the image.

Why “architecture++”?
It is actually a bit of a joke, I have experience as a programmer as well as studying architecture and saw my masters as an ‘improvement’ on my bachelors. The symbols “++” mean to increment, and in this case ‘post increment’ for example:

<?php
/* Let’s use PHP as an example, quite similar syntax to languages like C++ (See what I did there) and Java. */

$arch = 1;
echo $arch . “\n”;   # This prints “1”. 

$arch++;             # Post-increment.
echo $arch . “\n”;   # This prints “2”.

?>

Do you have a portfolio?
I did, unfortunately it is down at the moment. It will (hopefully) be back up in time for the completion of my Part 2. The address is xan-manning.co.uk.

Can I contact you?
Sure, you can email me or you can skype me.
