| | | Hey folks, I've just joined this forum... Like some of you, I have no formal training or vocation in relation to urban planning and arch. Just a great interest in industrial era buildings and architecture in general. I'm 37, I'm married with 3 kids living in downtown Toronto. I'm a self-employed video producer, working on corporate projects to pay the bills, and in my spare time I produce documentaries. Right now I'm working on a project that fits in nicely with this topic. It began as a documentary on Urban Exploration, and I spent a few months gathering some really great material, but after some careful thought, I realized that I many have legal problems with this project. I've now modified my original project, now it is going to deal with abandoned industrial era structures, and what to do with them in the present day. I'll be examining some proposed ways to modify these buildings so that they can be recycled as well as celebrating the atmosphere of these abandoned spaces. Anyway, enough about me...

So, CD, tell us a little about yourself... -N
| I'm an Industrial Designer in the Toronto Area. I specialize in Exhibit and Retail design. I was married, but am recently seperated, and I have a daughter caught in the middle of all of it. Due to my profession, I have an interest in most forms of engineering, especially how things hold up over the test of time. Which brought me to UEing, which I have been doing for over 10 years now. Anything else everyone would want to know? Just ask, no probs.

| | | Hi there, Like Nirvy I'm from Montreal, but unlike him I grow up in the central Montreal. I'm 100% urban man. I can stand one day in the suburb where the house all look the same and where there is no sidewalk. I've walk my city from coast to coast minus the peripheral smaller suburb city of the island. By day, night, the alleys, street park, on foot or on bike and now often by car, I know the place so well that if I ever become somwhat lost I really enjoy it because it's not something that happens often. I started photography 8 years ago, I always have developed my B&W myself, I learned photography all by myself and I took many hundreds of rolls of film all around the city. The subway, downtown buildings, streets, alleys, name something I have it in picture. With time passing by, I took a few before and after constructions and remake of land and buildings. Some are no more there. I made most of the Montreal pages in the LDB of the site and added pictures in almost all of the. http://www.uer.ca/...ebec&city=Montreal I know the the different styles and way of constructions dependings of the era, and I can tell about what is the date of construction of a building is. My first language is french and I often write things that can looks strange when you read it. Thanks for making this forum.

| | | Archaeologist, planner, soon-to-be-father, itinerate tinker. When doing my oral exam for OPPI (some of you know what that is), they asked what the city I was in would be like in 100 years, and I didn't have the heart to tell them what I thought. They bought my story, though, so I'm in the club. I'm a cycling advocate and participant, though it was some chilly this morning. I despise the automotive society, though grudgingly participate, hate the conspicuous-consumption driven economy and mentality, and think that a socio-economic system based on continuous growth has a fundamental flaw.
