Death of Yellowtrace Architecture...

A recent Google search on the term 'Yellowtrace" revealed an Australian site about Interior Design and architecture of the same name (www.yellowtrace.com.au - the site was established some time last year). The owner was probably unaware (or perhaps ignorant) that another blog bearing the name of this peculiar, turtleneck-wearing architects' favourite paper, existed for sometime already.

It's a pity because this blog held number one ranking on Google, albeit when you typed in its full official name: "Yellowtrace Architecture and Urbanism". Because of these latest trends, it moved down to existential obscurity of the search results' fifth page.

I have to give some credit to the owner. Close inspection of the site revealed a dedicated, hard-working Interior Designer, a bit like a newly-graduated architect from Hong Kong or Jaipur.

She is one of the rare ones though. Quite an original. One that books with titles such as 8 Steps to Success use as case studies..

So it's with those words that I proclaim "Yellowtrace" bit of this architecture blog dead. From now on it shall be known as the "Architecture Lives..." like the zombies in John Carpenter's comic take on the capitalist society of the eighties.

Rest in Peace...
