Philip Lopate writes about architecture a lot

The best I would suggest is to look at floorplans.

I like Wright -- used to be obsessed with his work; have the huge Taschen books and used to have probably 20+ books on his works -- and would look at his plans and study them. I think it's better to look at that than to read a philosophy of the architect, in terms of guidance, since the plan is the soul of the building.

Hello OP, I've read and enjoyed a book on modern shopping environments which you way want to look at. It has a goofy, unwieldy name, which is why I'm holding it separate.

The name of the book is (something like) Harvard Design School / Project on The City / 2 / Guide to Shopping. These elements the school, an ongoing project, the volume, and the theme. Far-out essays from Rem Koolhaas and various Chink grad students about basic features of the modern shopping environment, including air conditioning, the barcode, and the escalator, and their anticipated obsolescence by future tech (the book correctly predicted dead malls, but was still written before the smartphone/web 2.0). A useful tome in any event, I should read the Great Leap Forward and Mutations sometime.

Even worse than the Rothko chapel. Shame on you.

>various Chink grad students
you dont have to do that to be cool, you know

Don't pretend thin skin. I'm giving you a perfectly accurate account of the tome's authorship and provenance. It's well worth a read and it was cranked out by various Chink grad students in the milleu of Euro "heavyweights". One of the more useful essays describes the Lippo group and the Clintons' involvement.

ive already read as much of that book as i wanted.

you might want to take your racism elsewhere.

yeah, anti-modern fags be like

There is nothing so ridiculous and impotent as a Yea Forums user who politely suggests that racism be "taken elsewhere".

are you bored you spamming retard?

its better than racism for obviously underage posters

What the hell are these? They look like prison cells from a dystopian future, built for one inmate only.

contemporary takes on the modern christian chapel/church. To be fair, I think things actually do get a bit better once you're inside of one, but then I've never been.

For a modern take on a christian chapel that human beings actually like (and that is actually more interesting to boot), consider the following. My suspicion is that it gets away with wedding pagan, naturalist and christian sensibilities in a pleasing, protestant way that doesn't tick its target audience off.

RIP Mr. Cobb

It looks pleasant--and even feasible in a few decades if climate change becomes what it's touted to be--but for now I'd rather have walls. And not bare, mathematically flat concrete walls, either.
