Sometime back you lead me into an architectural website called "arcspace" which is appreciated. Their address is (http://www.arcspace.com/index.htm) and they do have an internal search engine. The website would seem to be a regular newsletter for professional architects, but their home webpage gives no information on what they actually are or do. My main current interest in appreciating if a global theory of architecture is possible is to address the issue of semiotic signs in this architectonic field, so a search was done in their engine to find any entries on "semiotics" and "signs" with some surprising results. There are no entries on "semiotics" and the only entries on "signs" are as industrial panels in the common commercial sense. It of course may be the wrong website for seeking probes into philosophic and academic issues that deal with architecture. If there are other websites you might suggest that deal with these kinds of theoretic and semiotic issues could you please post them here. **************Performance you need and the value you want!
