City of Layers

Society seems to be tied irrevocably to long-term patterns of resource use, and to producing unassimilatable waste, emissions, and ongoing environmental degradation. There also are seemingly irresolvable dilemmas between humanity and nature, society and ecology, and utility and beauty, where each decision we make seems to cause some harm. To change from our present path and resolve these, we must have the courage to break from traditions and use our knowhow to progressively and creatively enhance the existing built form so a new built reality emerges, one that enriches people and possibly enables a sustainable future. This alternate path necessitates a holistic approach, one that can more ef...

The Project Manager's Checklist for Building Projects

As today’s building projects are becoming increasingly more complex, having an ever increasing number of requirements, it has become essential to comprehensively plan building projects upfront and determine how these can be effectively progressed and efficiently delivered. To do so, project managers must not only know and understand the different lifecycle phases and many processes involved, but must also be able to determine what the most appropriate delivery strategy for their particular project is. Establishing a project roadmap and having a comprehensive checklist of what to do has therefore, become essential, as these not only provide quick access to the necessary prompters that shoul...

aliens in our Midst

It’s time we all knew. Within the deep chasm of what we know and should know, exists a fissure with an alternate reality. When seen and understood, this otherwise inexplicable conspiracy tells its own tale complete with a hidden history of inconceivable and improbable strangeness that ensures it is otherwise disbelieved. Until now, this tale has remained secret, despite being so integral to who we are and how we became. Those complicit, who knew, deleted all records so this remains a fanciful tale and could never be verified. What is written may undoubtedly be dismissed as conjecture, and not given merit or further consideration. This may also be read as made-up, but when contemplated further, it becomes something so familiar, something we all seem to subconsciously know and remember. This is the tale that merged the past with the present, so to force a philosophical rethink and expose what is. This has made the improbable, probable, and the impossible, possible. This is the search for truth that unfolds with the story of the ancients.

Construction Risk in Operational Hospitals

No one goes to hospital to get sick. Hospitals are the places we seek treatment, to get better, have procedures, get vaccinated or visit an ailing friend or relative. And yet, once in hospital, as a patient or visitor alike, we can become susceptible to an increased risk of infection from a most unlikely source; construction dust. Hospitals are under constant pressure to upgrade, embrace new technology, expand their aging facilities and attract more patients. This has resulted with construction and maintenance works becoming a mainstay in operational hospitals. And often, there will be several projects underway at the same time. Some will replace or repair aging infrastructure, others will i...

Persistent Echoes

  • Categories: Art

Through series of short contemplations and detailed illustrations, this book presents the journey taken through the cycle to life. Each part of the story is revealed as an echo while seeking answers to age-old questions. Why are we here at this time? What is our purpose? How should we be experiencing life? Are we here to do something special? Is there purpose in our life path? Is it preordained, or are we left adrift? Are global problems we are facing a matter for those who care to resolve these, or are we all to participate and contribute? In reading and contemplating these, we gain clarity and an appreciation with understanding of our very personal and individual yet eternal undertaking to eventually become enabled to answer these by ourselves.

Asemic Writings 2

  • Categories: Art

This coded asemic book has many deciphered messages that reveal an intriguing tale of the unforgiven, La Mancha. This sentenced individual accrued substantial karmic debt that caused a cosmic imbalance. This had to be corrected and reconciled. For just punishment, a miserable life full of hardship was fated. The accrued karmic debt is the sum of all the resulting bad we had done. These are our bad choices, decisions, brutal acts, past sins, and misdeeds waiting to be reconciled. Death does not erase these, nor does karma dismiss or forget these. Rather, they become the karmic debt that will outlive us, our flesh, and will be remembered, passing onto all our future incarnations. Whilst freedo...
