DS+R’s looks like the baseships from Battlestar Galactica are having an orgy.
SHoP appears to be proposing to exhaust the trains into or allow smoking once again in the main hall.
And SOM’s confirms their desire (read: penis envy) to be the 21st C’s Albert Speer.
H3’s is probably fairly realistic…not interesting…but realistic. Besides, that’s one hell of a dull rendering.
A first trip (at least for the 4 year old) on the Capital Area Greenway … Lots of cool stuff on this leg…
Brookview Apartments, Raleigh - I live around the corner from this small rental community. I’ve always loved the purity of their simple saltbox forms. Because they are barely 800sf, it’s a slight tweaking of the typical proportions. But then they had to go ahead and rotate one unit and join it to another with a small porch/breezeway. What an remarkably modest and simple move! Fantastic! Complimented with open corners, they are a great example of the post-war Modernist vision…that nobody gets anymore. When development pressures come, I hope they subdivide and give options to the public to purchase rather than sell the whole kit and kaboodle to a developer. It would be a shame to see many of these go.
Suede needs to craft a song as celebratory for Friday…..

This made me itchy… I think I might have some serious sea-phobia…. but Shayne Carter is still making some wonderful music all these years on…
Stillness of early morning…Memorial Day along the Intracoastal Waterway
East Series :: a quick trip out to Gatesville yielded this handful of images of the drive. There’s a particular power in this landscape generally reserved for the Midwest: feral vs. domestic, horizon & sky…apparently vacant, but clearly shaped by european-descended occupation. And this was all just what can be observed along the state highway! I really enjoyed this quick survey. I need to go back and spend some meaningful time with it.
Genesis P-orridge and Pandrogeny….
Stunning restoration of Judd Home and Studio by Architecture Research Office (ARO). “’Judd saw history as something to be engaged, not treated as an artifact,’ says Yarinsky.” It is clear ARO respected this belief and are successful in surgically reviving the 1870 cast-iron building meant to celebrate the life of minimalist Donald Judd.
motivation to pare down…
Sometimes simple ideas can have the most powerful effects.
