The archicat is back! Why it took so long for him to return, who knows. But here he is again, and he will once more delight you with his oblique point of view.
For have you really thought about this? What would be the history of mankind, if they hadn’t lost the protection of their comfortable hairy layer?
In this episode, you might recognise references to Laugier, Khufu, Piranesi, the Burj Khalifa, and a recent project for a 170 km long building in Saoudi Arabia called “The Line”.
Everyone likes to make lists at the end of the year – of the ups and the downs . The archicat has his own particular list …
I bet you, too, are glad to learn about these handy design suggestions for Christmas!
Oh, those days before Christmas can be misty … Who wants to be out on such a day ?

As above so below, they say. The archicat has a healthy respect for the wonders of the golden ratio.

You might think that you know everything about the great achievements of the old Egyptians. But the archicat doesn’t rest. On his trip to Giza he is duly impressed by the achievements of his predecessors.
You can be hit by a ton of bricks if you’re not careful around a building site. Or by an airplane. Or a virus. The archicat explains.
