POPSNot Your Fathers Mobile Home Park
The roof is a butterfly roof for water conservation, a new design vernacular we are seeing more of. The wheels lift the structures well above the meadow, keeping the footprint of each hut to the barest minimum, making for a low-tech and low-impact design. The construction of each identical hut is very simple. It is just an offset steel clad box on a steel platform with a wood deck on top. Unlike a typical mobile home, less than half of the space on each structure is indoor space; outdoor decks comprise 55% of the usable space. While the interiors leave some design issues unsolved, the exteriors are well thought out. They are built of simple, durable and no-maintenance materials – steel, plywood and car-decking. No effort is made to soften this reality. The steel exterior is just allowed to rust naturally. The huts are “grouped as a herd” while each faces a view of the mountains (and away from the other structures), they are also gathered together as a unit.

POPSThe Dawning of Internet Censorship in Germany Censoring the internet is an obvious censorship of free speech. The specter of government involvement in determining what is ‘appropriate’ for its citizens to access and/or view is repugnant. A government that suppresses this freedom is taking on the relationship of a parent to a child. This type of relationship is not appealing and no government has the right to expect this of its citizens. Instead, this turned out to be a example of how allowing the public to participate in government decisions a solution was worked out that did not censor the internet. Something the U.S. government needs to allow. It matters little how noble the reason or what the intended goal is in its pursuit of censorship, once the government is allowed to partake of this power it will invariably abuse it and want more. This is simply human nature.
