Attn: ARKI Thesis peeps- previous ARKITIPS have covered data gathering- site & environmental data, building codes & regulations, zoning, fire safety and building efficiency ratio. The next series of ARKITIPS will be on structural rules of thumb ... Keep posted =) ARKITIPS #170 - Green Architectonics - the application/ use of present-day and advanced (where applicable) sustainable planning and design concepts, materials, practices, technologies during the preparation of architectural, structural and utility plans/ designs of a building/ structure and during the implementation/ execution of such plans/ designs.

ARKITIPS #63 For SMALL BIZ: Most architectural/construction companies are still clueless about Social Media. Social media has arrived, but companies still aren't sure what to do with it. Fifty-eight (58%) percent of companies are currently engaged in social networks from blog, Facebook and Twitter to LinkedIn and YouTube. THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA, from blogs, Facebook and Twitter to LinkedIn and YouTube, offers arch'l, realty and construction firms the chance to join a conversation with millions of clients or customers around the globe every day. According to its latest report published on June 7, that there are now 24,793,040 Facebook users in the Philippines, representing a 24.82 percent penetration rate in terms of the total population. These recent studies mirror recent reports saying that the Philippines is now the Social Media Capital of the World, where 9 in 10 online users are either surfing through their Facebook feeds or scanning their Twitter timelines.
