If you had taken my course on organic architecture, you would have seen a short movie about the Thermal Baths in Vals, Switzerland.

The architect, Peter Zumthor, is the NEW 2009 Pritzker Prize of Architecture, the Nobel, the Oscar for architects.

 

If you don’t want to take the Modern Organic Seminar, then you should consider going with me on the trip to Alsace/Basel/Switzerland so you can experience his Thermal Baths in Vals and also visit  buildings by  seven other Pritzker Prizes recipients.

 

Our tours are quite affordable for what they give you. In fact no one, gives as much for the same price.

Try one of them, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thank you to the gracious hosts of our seminars:

- Do you need 100 year-old roof clay tiles for a beautiful “mediterranean” house? I will beat any US distributor’s prices.

- Do you want to use recycled doors? Then look into a collection of ten thousand antique doors that can be re-adapted to your project or be copied.

- Do you need some Versailles parquet, made the ancient way?

- Do you want a kitchen that looks like, and functions like, or better than, those “English” kitchens but at a fraction of the price?

- Do you need Burgundy stone flooring at a price that is less than any other US distributor?

- Do any of your clients like French antiques but don’t know where to go and how to acquire good pieces without being gouged?

- Would you like to stucco a building with one of the greenest methods; that last for hundred of years; repeals mold and plant growth; is elastic enough to cover hairline cracks in a facade; insulates the building; is easy to repair or to change the color; is non toxic and doesn’t produce CO2 like Portland cement based stuccos?

- Would any of your clients like to have Venetian Plaster in their house but cringe at the cost and its complexity? I have one that is as real as the original but at a fraction of the cost and also is easy to install.

 

If you can answer yes to any or all of these questions,

then call me at 1 800 240 1194 for details.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

SOLAR IS PART OF A FUTURE AS  SOON AS ”TODAY”

Tony is a 38 year-old world-class athlete. Upon completing the 2002 Raid Gauloises, a grueling 16 day adventure race in Vietnam, he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Now many years beyond the expecta­tions and predictions of many doctors, Tony continues to celebrate life surrounded by an amazing support group which he calls Team Tony to share this new adventure with him.

 

After having lost 95% of his left peripheral vision and losing the ability to comfortably ride a bike but still a competitive athlete. On April 25th, 6 years after his diagnosis, he began a 750 mile, 35 day long journey back home from Duke University Medical Center to Sarasota, Florida having two goals:

- First, to raise $100,000.00 for The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke  

- Second, to meet more people, to share his adventure, and to learn about theirs.   

 

He didn’t raise all the money he wanted to raise, but he finished his amazing walk, only a few days late. (in claculating distances, someone forgot to take into consideration the size of cities that he crossed, adding a lot of mileage to the walk.)

Visit www.teamtony.org and see the 750 miles PLUS route and contribute. Thank you.

Jean

I would like for you to look into one my friend, Tony McEachern, story. True, he is not the only one experiencing hardship, but he is nonetheless a great example of someone with a lot of courage and determination.
