"Technology is a cruel tool" -Peter Eisenman
He sure is getting better and better at really saying not much at all. Listen closely to what he says and it adds up to nothing substantial. It's like a balloon begging for a prick.

Stop the presses: Paul Goldberger's take on critical relevance in the social media age
The Brant House Addition (1978) and the House inspired by Mount Vernon (1978-79, also designed for the Brant's) were designed when the firm was still Venturi and Rauch (Venturi, Rauch & Scott Brown 1980-88, Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates 1988-2012--Venturi and Scott Brown officially announce their retirement on their wedding anniversary).
[John C. Knowles and Allen Greenberg were the studio critics of my 1st semester 5th year design studio Fall 1980, and Greenberg was among the critics at my thesis jury Spring 1981. Greenberg rarely liked anything I was doing design-wise, yet I still received the AIA Award for Distinguished Design upon graduation.]
Summer 1981 I worked for HABS at Gunston Hall, Virginia. Turned out that Greenberg had been there some months earlier cribbing details from the Palladian Room, as Mount Vernon, south of Gunston Hall also on the Potomac, lacked such fine detail.

Franziska's reenacting bike ride of 1 January to 19 January earlier this year took her mostly through Romania along the Muresul River, north of and parallel to the Transylvanian Alps. She followed miles and miles of train tracks.

CQ MO
Since revisiting the Bernini double theater that I read about almost 25 years ago, I've come to greatly admire the creative fecundity of double theaters as both a means and an end within the creative process. There is something almost magical about working with a vehicle/medium where there are literally twice the possibilities and where inversion (of self, for example) and mirroring (again of self, for example) provide, again, double the possibilities. Or is it all just 'too much play(ing)' in what is really just a virtual place?
