Look Here

I wish I could jet down to Brazil for this exhibition of the work of landscape genius Burle Marx.

The first point of this list from the New York Times (2007) kind of disturbs me a bit, I have to say.

Here’s one way for an architect to make a buck. Or rather, a nickel.

Wow, there is a Flickr group for everything, including every single part of a building, from bricked up doorways to belfries (apparently belfries are less popular). Also, everything on the street & sidewalk from double yellow lines to manhole covers Again: wow.

Awesome Filmore Place in Williamsburg may get landmarked, according to the Municipal Arts Society.

Herewith, the Book Cover Archive Presents an archive of book cover designs and designers, for the purpose of appreciation and categorization.

The sun always shines in architecture magazines.

“The calls go out to the architects: pencils down.”

Yet another good reason to make sure everyone has safe sidewalks. Even out in the ‘burbs.

The New York Daily News stole the Empire State Buiding! …but they gave it back, so it’s OK.
