Bulge In

From the local architect Jerry Garcia to me, and from me to you:

Attached are construction photos of Toyo Ito’s installation in the National Gallery in Berlin. normal_01small.jpg

When the new generation of computer modeling became available about ten years ago, the architectural community began to anticipate a generation of blob buildings. What has instead happened here (Maya Lin), in Berlin, and elsewhere, are a generation of blobs in buildings.

Of course, that didn't stop EMP from happening.

Can I skateboard on it?

Do you know how hard it is to find a sofa for a place like that?!?

I'm mostly neither nor on the EMP. What fires me up is wishing I had been on the construction crew somewhere. Imagine the once in a lifetime job it was to be on -- a job where 90 and 45 degrees are out the window, and the list of building materials seems to have come from outer space instead of Home Depot. The White Album of jobs.

Hello people! Nice site!
