unbuilt works, on-going works, built works
revisited -- new competitions, pre-qualifications, competition results,

appalling statistics, useless scholarship

inner-circus:
- family-keeper
"... consistently belong to the family: there is a pater familias, a
godfather, an enfant terrible, a fostering mother, a rich aunt, a
housekeeper, a series of beloved but criticized sons, a few beloved and
belittled daughters, as well as some sons-in-law who have time and again
to deserve their position. This family has, as any family, its favourite
conversational topics, its little fights and its continuing struggles.
..." (Hilde Heynen, "Theoretical Reflections," archis 6.12.97)
