- Lebbeus Woods has compiled a list of words that “once had currency in architecture but have become, in effect, dead.” In completely unrelated news, I have a radical, new and completely original idea for experimental housing based on principles of critical progress. It’s genius, really. The wave of the future. You’ll see…
- White House Redux: The Book. On September 23rd, the results will be announced for the competition that asked entrants to reimagine the White House as if it were designed today.

Wonderful stuff. Have you seen the blog design slinger? Done by two Art Directors from Hollywood, one who studied architecture.
The building shown in the picture is aggressive one. I don’t like and it looks ugly. Life without the buildings are impossible and they are unavoidable.
