With this next series of blogs I will depart from my established theme of Building Content as “the development of blog material” and shift to the notion of Building Content as “the stuff of structures.” (I knew one day I’d be able to make this paradigm shift – why else have a polysemic blog title?)

Welcome to Orlando!

 The occasion for this change of focus? Well, on behalf of Architizer.com, I will be attending and blogging about Coverings 2010 – The Ultimate Tile + Stone Experience, in Orlando Florida. I have attended my share of conventions, but this is my first time as a member of the press. I look forward to posting my Coverings experience here daily but I also invite you to Architizer.com for “best of” coverage. (And go ahead and join Architizer.com while you are there!)   

 The following is from an early Coverings 2010 press release:

 ”Coverings is the premier international trade fair and expo dedicated exclusively to showcasing the newest in ceramic tile and natural stone. It has grown to be the largest and most important show of its kind in the U.S., featuring exhibitors from more than 50 countries and attracting thousands of distributors, retailers, fabricators, contractors and specifiers, architectural and design professionals, builders and real estate developers, plus the press and journalists who cover this vital and dynamic industry. Coverings is the stage for introducing some of the most innovative tile and stone products in the world. The exposition also serves as a valuable resource for continuing education for all categories of attendees, with informative, accredited seminars and live demonstration sessions conducted throughout the four days and all free of charge.”
