unbuilt works, on-going works, built works
revisited -- new competitions, pre-qualifications, competition results,
exhibitions, reviews -- delicious tidbits,
appalling statistics, useless scholarship

(*****) back in the news
[Goodyear Headquarters] *** hEadlines
- corporate museum
"Mr Gibara is the first to admit it might seem odd, a global manager thriving in rusty old Akron. Goodyear headquarters still has its cavernous baskebal arena, which seated as many as 4,000 fans for games played by the Goodyear Wingfoots in the days of the long-forgotten National Industrial Basketball League. ... There's also the World of Rubber, a corporate museum so faded that ..." (Timothy Aeppel, wsj_99.12.22)
[Baker House, MIT, Cambridge MA]
- water-struck
"Some scholars think Aalto was intrigued, too, by the term 'Ivy League,' because in all his drawings of Baker House he included planted ivy trellises that rose from the ground all the way up to the roof on the river side. Perhaps no one told Aalto MIT isn't an Ivy member." (Robert Campbell, bg_99.09.30)
[Beekman Place Triplex, New York City]
- scopolamine patch
"... every detail was the product of his singular, some might say obsessive vision, from a built-in television set encased in chrome-plated Formica to steel staircases without banisters, whose dagger edges continue to wreak havoc on Miss Conceicao's sweat pants.
The latest occasion for Windex was a party given by Nest magazine last week, a dizzying affair that drew nearly 200 people, some of whom found themselves drinking white wine and listening to performance artists while trying to forget they were standing in a cantilevered bathtub.
Never mind the transparent sink through which you could see
into the bedroom below. ...
The most uninhabitable spaces may be the bathrooms (mercifully, a see-through Jacuzzi is now boarded up). ... 'He was interested in translucency,' Ms. Schmertz said. 'Perhaps too interested.' " (Patricia Leigh-Brown, nyt_981203)
