I recently stumbled upon this LA Times article: Stunt Climbers Use Buildings For Their Own Causes , by Christopher Hawthorne. It's an older piece regarding the double ascent of the NY Times building in 2008.

At one point he mentions buildering.net:

There is, not surprisingly, a whole series of websites devoted to the obscure hobby, including buildering.net, on which by Thursday night the message boards were buzzing with news of Robert's latest conquest.

I was more interested in the site's tag line, running in horizontal script at the top of my browser. "Buildering.net," it read. "Misinterpreting architecture worldwide."

Like Robert himself, the site may be French, the tag line no more than a charming malapropism. But the phrase is a fascinating one, raising a range of questions about how people react to a piece of architecture once it's completed, and how using a building in a way that the architect or the client never intended can actually animate it in the public imagination.

A charming malapropism? Did all that well-formed English on buildering.net lead you to believe I'm French, or did you just make a pathetically obvious attempt at claiming a brilliant idea as your own? Here's a bit of French for you Chris: fuck off.

Hello,

I’m writing to you from optomen tv www.optomen.com. I’m keen to find out more about Buildering in the hope of making a film.

Someone mentioned to me that there was a team of climbers hoping to tackle some of the highest building in the world...

Be great to have a chat.

Dear Basketgal24/Puzozilit646,

It has certainly been hard for all of us. Thank you for lending a shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately you may want to sit down before reading any further. Your doctor called. The results were positive.

The Buildering Company

Ardarvin,

You seem to be the authority on buildering on the North American Continent. Therefore you might be interested in this....

I am an MBA student and currently planning to produce an entire line of clothing aimed at young climbers... actually Builderers in particular.

Prana and Evolv seem to have a good grip on the boulderer hippy market, but there doesn't seem to be a clothing line aimed at jobless innercity young climbers... hence my clothing line, The Buildering Company, should fill that void, however small it may be.

Dissertation on Urban Adaptation

Hey Bro !

Long time no squeak, how do ? Been watching over the site lately, loving all the photos man. Glad your still doing your thing, and well. ;o) If you don't remember me my name is sticky, I have been good friends with Kiell for a good few years and I'm part of urban freeflow. The reason I suddenly contact you now is that I need some answers of you. I am currently writing a dissertation based on how people adapt to the city and how the city adapts to humans and was wondering if I emailed you over a handful of questions you would be able to email some answers ? I really respect your opinion and know that you know exactly what your talking about when it comes down to buildering. I would really appreciate this, and it would not take longer than 5 minutes.

Hope your cool,

Hope to hear from you soon bro,

Sticky
