	<description><![CDATA[Larry â Thanks for your comment. There are certainly a lot of buildings between the two extremes you suggest, and for most the thought holds true regarding the cost of new construction, as opposed to re-inhabiting existing structures. I donât know the economics, but I would actually not be surprised if this was true for a favela as well. But youâre right, ânew buildingsâ is too broad a term (I'll work on it). I partly meant buildings in which there is a direct engagement with an architect, to point out (to architects) something we often take too lightly. The extraordinary expense of most buildings is, to me, a key to understanding how buildings make landscape, since their expense implies such serious consideration and commitment on the part of the persons paying the bill. Buildings serve, in this regard, as a more precise record of values than cars!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Great, provocative article!  In the second to last paragraph, however, you speak of "new buildings" as "more expensive than most people (or businesses or organizations or institutions) can afford ever... in their lifetime (unlike, say, a car)."  Do you really mean "fetishistic architecturally prominent new buildings"?  Far more people live in buildings than have cars.  A self-built home in a favela in Brazil is, in fact, a "new building".  Why have we made architecture only about these really expensive, very precious things?]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Nam - Murcutt is, as you note, left off that list intentionally. His is a special case. Murcutt's work was already early on driven by more complex and current environmental impulses. His unbending refusal to air-condition his houses is a hard stance about how to live (and is coincidentally why the buildings' sectional profiles are so extraordinary!). But these are frequently second homes built in the brush hours from town. The question of their resulting footprint points to an ambiguity in the middleman role of architects in making landscape. Murcutt's houses - as astonishing as they are - could thus not exactly be called "smart growth", just "less stupid" growth - or "least stupid" growth. In any event, growth is still in the equation...]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I find it interesting that in the third to last paragraph where you discuss all the buildings previously mentioned, within the context of them  being <i>relaxed about their consumption of resources</I> and thus like a Hummer Ad of sorts, the one building mentioned previously that you don't list again is Glenn Murcutt's. <br />
<br />
Does this perhaps point the way forward? Via his indigenous, climactic sensitive approach. <br />
<br />
Keeping one of your closing sentences in mind also, <i>environmental footprint was not the problem they set out to solve.</i> one could note that Murcutt's is in fact i would argue designed explicitly to minimize footprint...]]></description>
