Whatever Happened to 'Housing and the Environment'?

This paper takes stock of the housing and environment debate and argues that much of the optimism of the early 1990s has declined. Our own work is reviewed as an example of the limits of previous approaches to analysing contemporary housing and environmental issues. There appears to be a paradox in that housing organisations are now much more environmentally aware; many are developing green housing projects, and yet the development of theory has lagged behind. It is argued that the analysis of environmental issues in housing studies needs to be strongly linked to wider debates and cross-cutting themes such as social and economic sustainability, social integration and fair competition in the context of globalisation.

郑树芬设计是一桩好玩的事

郑树芬（Simon Chong）进入我们的视野，可能真因为他的搭档太过闪耀。作为与黄志达（Ricky Huang）合作长达十多年的合伙人，他实在是一个太低调的存在。可是一旦第一次用分离的目光看他的作品，又不得不感叹其深厚的人文气质和纯真的设计态度，正如Simon都市熟男的形象一般，散发着一股历经沉淀后的优雅与感性。

The Medium and the Thing Itself

Two drawings in Antoine de Saint Exupery's The Little Prince put forth the fundamental problem of comprehension with the respect to the medium of drawing. The first drawing, which the narrator produced as a child, actually represents a boa constrictor that has swallowed an elephant whole and is mistaken for a hat by all the adults to whom it is shown. (Figure 1.) Frustrated by the adults' persistent misreading, the narrator produced a second drawing, which clearly shows the elephant inside. To his chagrin, the adults were still baffled by the rudimentary section, which convinced him to abandon drawing and what, he later lamented, might have been a "magnificent career as a painter."
