This is an applique design I’m considering using for a custom backpack I want. I’m always hurting my back with messenger bags, so I figure a good idea is to go custom and 2-strapped.
like/dislike?
This article basically describes why I love old architecture. The history of what used to exist, why people changed things around, what was changed to accommodate new technologies or the disintegration of materials over time.
I’d love to work on historical narratives of missing space.
Hmm…
One of my favorite stories is how the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall became one of the most acoustically perfect spaces by accident. Also how there used to be an enormous (since replaced and barely any pieces remain) gas-powered chandelier that was so big, those in the balcony could barely see the stage and that when it was turned on, it would basically burst with light because of all the flames and the crystals that would refract those flames.

BLDGBLOG: The Emperor’s Castle
This student took a story and converted the characters into architectonic metaphor in order to create a fantastical landscape.

I found the book I wanted. Woo and also pee!
There are so many words, but I’ll just let it be.
(on another note, this is a crazy tumblr posting day, wee!)

Jeremiah's Vanishing New York
New favorite blog.
From today’s *Everyday Chatter post: “The East Village is like Dante’s 8th Circle of Hell“—and I couldn’t agree more. I still like my digs, just don’t hate on me if I run into to you and your drunken girlfriend because I refused to get out of people’s way while getting some food on a Saturday night. I live here and I’m short—you should be dodging *me*, mmm-kay?
More Jane, Less Marc
** fully support this initiative**
I’m a big fan of Jane, and no interest in Marc, so it’s an easy win-over for me.
I requested some copies of these cards. Excited and expectant!
Archinect : News : JDS proposes to Experience the Void
New ways to experience the rotunda via physical intervention? Okay. I love a good mesh landscape, and the solution he conjured is a good one—the inner spiral. It plays off the space, and of course pends itself to safe enjoyment (as safe as a trampoline can be anyway).
I very much hope they decide to do this…
