Some people are still expanding! Breaking Media, the folks responsible for Fashionista, Above the Law, and Dealbreaker have just recently launched Edificial "a brutal (but constructive) architecture and design blog." To be penned by Eva Hagberg and Ian Volner.

According to the site "Edificial fills the gap in narratively-focused gossip-friendly architecture coverage. We're interested in the players, the stories, the deals, the history, the present, the future...We'll be criticizing the criticizers." Also, design! "We're going to get involved in the play-by-play and pan out to take the long view. There will be roundups and linkdumps. There will also be longer essays and contributions from people we love."

Not only that, Breaking Media managing editor David Lat tells us there is more to come: "We expect this to be the first of several launches for us in 2009. Despite the economy, Breaking Media is in expansion mode."
