Whitemarsh Hall is the only building here that I have actually experienced, and Ury is the only other building here to have actually existed, but I live where Ury once was so it's a completely cerebral 'piece' of architecture for me now. In fact, as the first half of the list demonstrates, my favorite architecture teaches me something beyond what actually exists, and the latter half of the list is a wishful manifestation of architecture that perhaps goes beyond even that.

Re: The Last Taboo?
So far, the major work comprising The Uraustellung in The Curatorium is Schinkel is not Goya, and Lauf is not the Chapmans.
Don't tell me solipsism is the real last taboo! Hey, maybe today is the real Carpe Diem Eureka Day as well. Or maybe everyday is Carpe Diem Eureka Day for the taboo solipsist.

Re: art as architecture as art
Lately, I've become very interested in architecture that has moved (from place to place). For example, the 17th century style Japanese (Philosophers) House in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park was created/built in post W.W.II Japan, then shipped to NYC for exhibition at MoMA, and then found its way to Philadelphia, which is probably where it will from now on remain. The house is constructed of a fairly rare Japanese cedar, and the recent installation of a new cedar roof cost something like 1.6 million dollars. You could say that this building represents a real someplace else (or at least is literally composed of things from someplace else), but what it probably more truly represents is its own journey as literally moving (i.e., non-static) architecture.

1957. Friday, Houston
The American Confederation of Arts Convention is into its second day session of inquiry, and "The Creative Act--How style evolves in the creative mind" is the subject of the morning's proceedings. Duchamp and his fellow panelists meet for breakfast at the Shamrock Hilton, the headquarters of the convention. Having had virtually no experience of speaking in public [31.3.1950], Duchamp has decided, as he stated later, to approach it as a game and to see what he can do in front of 500 people without being ridiculous.

1954. Monday, Philadelphia
At the invitation of Fiske Kimball, who would like him to look again at the proposed arrangement of the Arensberg Collection [27.10.1953] prior to its being hung, and the proposed site for the installation of the Large Glass, Duchamp arrives at the museum at about noon.
