Hello Dezeen mailing list!

Our 50th issue of Dezeenmail is packed with our pick of stories and comments from Dezeen, including arguments from some fired-up skaters and surfers.

You can also get all the latest from Dezeenjobs and competitions on the right as usual, plus follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more readers' reactions.

By the way, are there any London-based architects out there offering a Part I placement this summer? Our lovely intern Catherine comes highly recommended! Drop us a line if you can help.
