About

WHO

My name is Kirsten Hively. I’m an architect*, though I have also done other things (including working in web design and research, and studying music). Eventually I’ll come back here and write a snappy bio, but for now just go ahead and Google me.

 

WHAT

Just some stories about architecture, urbanism, and design in general.

So what’s a Catasterist?

Catasterism is to place someone or something (eg Orion) among the stars. So a catasterist would be (if it were a real word) a person who puts people, places, and things among the stars, which could just be a metaphor for recording stories, don’t you think?

 

WHERE

Here. Duh.
The RSS feed is here, and you can subscribe here.

 

WHEN

Weekdaily for now, unless I take a day off.

 

WHY

Because there aren’t enough blogs on the internets yet. No, seriously, because I like to write, because I need to think about these things, and because I want to figure some things out.

 

HOW

How to read Catasterist: again, if you want to subscribe to the RSS feed, go can go here: http://catasterist.com/wp-rss2.php, and if you want to receive email notifications when fascinating new tidbits are posted to the site, subscribe here: http://catasterist.com/subscribe/

How is it made? Well, mostly by pounding my head against a lot of php and css I don’t fully understand. And with the lovely and talented WordPress. As well as help and advice from a more experienced blogger**.

That about sums it up.  Any other questions?  Let me know…  kirsten [at] catasterist [dot] com

 

 

 

*I’m not licensed or anything, but I have a Masters in it and work as it, so there you go. But technically you can get in big trouble calling yourself an architect if you aren’t licensed, so there you are.

**Ack, I hate the word ‘blogger’ but I don’t know a better one.
