“What good is your modern architecture if it can’t repair a broken heart?!?”

Somehow I missed Mister Glasses the first time in made its way around the architectural blogsphere. Mister Glasses is the continuing tale of a has-been Modernist looking for retribution with the help of his new crack-team of architectural archetypes. While there are plenty of inside jokes for architects (“Your new high school will be regarded as a machine…a machine for learning“), I think the stylish production design, deadpan humor, and over-the-top melodrama will also appeal to non-architects – and that’s something I strive for here on Life Without Buildings as well. So enjoy episdode 2 (above), and be sure to check out the other episodes!

    I also wanted to mention that I love how Mister Glasses’ handwriting is a PERFECT typeface.

    These guys need to discover a deinterlacing filter, though.
