Platform (underfoot) Collection

My goal in this site is to create a archive/ collection of information that I pull together into one location for not only personal use but hopefully public use as well. In idea it will be a go to site with links and pics and data I have collected. It is a information expedition/ journal. A place in which I can go back to and rediscover data that I once forgot like an internet filing cabinet but for all to open and explore. Hence the collection. The project name is in conguence with structures I use in my studio practice; Platform:

–noun

1.	a horizontal surface or structure with a horizontal surface raised above the level of the surrounding area.

2.	a raised flooring or other horizontal surface, such as, in a hall or meeting place, a stage for use by public speakers, performers, etc.

6.	a public statement of the principles, objectives, and policy of a political party, esp. as put forth by the representatives of the party in a convention to nominate candidates for an election: The platform contained the usual platitudes.

9.	a place for public discussion; forum.

10.	a decklike construction on which the drill rig of an offshore oil or gas well is erected.
