It’s been a while since we had some yummy structural link love. Since my bookmarks are way too full, now seems like a good time to drop some…

house of the week: 003 | Terrace House via Architechnophilia – this image above is the part of the house that’s not actually there, or so the post states. What’s that mean? Why not go find out? It’s worth the click.

I’ve had this saved for almost a month and it’s time to let go. This delicious little prefab hails from Jetson Green, but I actually first saw it at Architecture.mnp. What to do? Who to give the link love to??? Well, either way, you win, because both blogs rock. That said, why not visit Jetson Green to read more about the Johnson Creek weeHouse Prefab Home and then head to mnp for a surprise old school post of mnp’s that I really liked. (Yes, it’s a nice kind of surprise, not one of those surprises that suck btw).

inhabitat has a very nice Top Ten Green Architecture Projects Of 2008 round up going on. It’s a lovely read, with all sorts of sustainable delights of the last year; well, except the Eco Spheres, which are way older than 2008 (????) Still, I love inhabitat too much to complain any more about this – how petty of me.

Lastly, those kooky cats at Swamplot are having a big ol’ contest for the Greatest Moment in Houston Real Estate, 2008. If you know Swamplot, then you’ve already guessed that the awards nominees are super fun. In case you’re lost, the nice folks at Swamplot brought us the home with nine and a half bathrooms and the killer wood panel home. Voting has ended, but you can still view the nominees, and soon, you’ll be able to see who won.

NON STRUCTURAL LINK LOVE OF THE WEEK:

Just for fun, and because Valentine’s day will be here soon enough, I have to ask – is there anyone on this planet who you love MORE than zombies love brains? If you said yes, here’s a smacking good offbeat worthy V-day gift idea.

A house that’s not all there, wee structures, the green life, zombies, and more…

To see more photos and to learn more about one of the lovely links below – click on the photo.

A floating house! I’ve shown this house here before, but I like Deputydog’s slant.

I love Andrew Maynard Architects and early in April, Architecture.mnp had a huge interview, slash photo, slash killer idea extravaganza related to them. Plus if you visit, you get to find out what this little guy does… I bet you can’t guess. Go on click it.

 [via - Architecture.mnp who btw, have a contest going on.]

I avoided most blogs on April fools day this year. One blogger (who shall remain nameless) almost gave me an April 1st heart attack early on in the day, so I quit surfing. Later I saw this foot in mouth post from Progressive Reactionary which only proves I made the right decision. I can totally see me falling for this.

Don’t forget – today is the last day to enter to win the Building With Awareness DVD & guidebook.

4 Structural Eye Candy Links

This blog could use some serious blogroll revision. I need to do some adds, remixes, and sadly some cuts (but mostly adds). Thus I’ll be using my time at this blog this weekend for boring housekeeping tasks and am going MIA here in about five minutes. Not to worry; you’re probably all out enjoying the weekend sunshine anyhow and I’ll be back by Tuesday at the latest.

I’ll leave you with some best of the best from my daily blog reads this week. If you like what you see click on the link and whisk away to a blog where the writer might actually be around.

First up, dezeen has this little gem of a fountain and a slew of other inspired items this week that will brighten your weekend including what happens when you give designers balloons to work with.

Blog like you give a damn (likely one of the best named blogs ever) has a wonderful and funny post about the failings of prefab and why it may be not quite as fab an idea as we thought after all.

Inhabitat has this cool structure; more photos and the full specs available for a click.

Architecture.mnp, the always stellar stop on my blog rounds has a SEXY structure photo to share that you must see.

Since I can’t give you a peek (there’s just the one sexy pic) have a look at this tiny item I found at ThinkGeek that reminded me of Architecture.mnp the second I saw it.

Lastly, in totally random, not related to architecture at all sites (unless you count the ladders) I found something that will make you feel better about yourself and your thinking process in about three seconds flat. You know you want to visit.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you all in a couple of days.
