Some thoughts for me...

Just a dump of some thoughts i need to remember:

- inventory-driven design - where does this feature in my literature review?
- sashimono techniques
- upcycling versus downcycling - where does my reuse fit?

- new earthquake technologies for chch?
- amendments to building code for chch?
- building code research in general - what is influencing building material replacement and  obsolescence (double glazing etc)?
