Path Area Illustrator

for you guys who draw in Illustrator I found a helpful plugin which calculates the area of paths.
Download from here (the cs4 version works fine on my cs5)
extract the .aip-file and drop it in the plug-in folder, found in:
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_GB/Plug-ins

Select a path in an llustrator-file, go to Object/Filters/Patharea and there you go.

currently reading Tschumi for inspiration in my ongoing thesis project.
In Parc de la Villette he is dealing with autonomous components, organizationally tied together by the grid and sometimes physically tied together by bridges and structure.
