Yeah, I had to force myself away from the site too!

Color coordination isn't part of the Dewey Decimal System?

People coming and asking for a book but they "can't remember the title but think it had a red and blue cover" is a common industry joke for reference desk librarians.

And that's why it's called "porn" not "text book illustrations of proper book cataloging."

Yes, but I define porn as the gratuitous display of something I want to see. Especially in a thread about good design, which means (to me) fulfilling a functional purpose with a certain flair.

That's why I don't like many of the houses that have been presented in this thread. They may be quite striking as art objects but strike me as horribly designed as residences for actual people.

That's one definition of porn I suppose. But I tend to consider porn to just be something purely about the visual aesthetic, not the practicality. Lord knows most of what one sees in porn (of the sexual variety) hardly fulfills a functional purpose, though it often has a certain flair.

Point taken from the "design" standpoint, but I still find value in design taken to non-practical extremes for purely aesthetic or theoretical purposes.

727 home - interesting

We have a guy over here in Honolulu who has renovated old tour buses into temporary homeless shelters. I like the plane idea better!
