The new photoshop comes with an export option that slices up an image and places it in a window that allows you to zoom in to the details of an image:

Architecture: the good the bad and the ugly

Found this site today, a friend of mine in Northern VA came up with this idea for a place online to discuss architecture. Sounds like a pretty fun idea!

Good place for tutorials, etc…

I see the NCSU architecture blog being a place where ANYONE can contribute. This would be setup with a simple password and username…or better…figure out a way for anyone to easily get a username and password to be able to add content.

The content can be organized into various categories…i.e. tutorials, precedent studies, architectural articles/sites of interest, etc…

We could even place one member of the GSA to maintain this blog…which requires VERY little work. Just mainly making sure that things that shouldn’t be there are posted…and keeping people interested in the idea.

I think it could serve as an excellent way to share information, ideas, lessons, and get feedback from our peers.
