Thoughts on summer/future coming next week, just before I leave for Italy/Switzerland/Germany/Czech Republic/Austria.
In the spirit of cataloguing, here's what I've been reading:
- Hans Ulrich Obrist, The Conversation Series, Vol. 4: Rem Koolhaas
- Log 26 (Fall 2012)
- Alexandra Lange, Writing About Architecture: Mastering the Language of Buildings and Cities
- Malcolm McCullough, Digital Ground
Really digging the latter two. The former is just about what you'd expect but has the added bonus of providing a primer on major figures in architectural criticism from the 20th century. The latter deals with "context-oriented technological design," examining the implications of the digitalization of everything (see "things, internet of") for physical and (especially) place-based interventions into daily life.
Also: can't stop listening to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's self-titled album. If you care to give a listen, keep in mind that you'll get past the guy's voice eventually.
Also also: been continuing my photographic exploration. Highlights from this week below.
