What I'm reading.


  • Reading now:
    • Cass Sunstein's, "Worst Case Scenarios", from 2007.  --- 3 stars so far (non-fiction writers are almost always verbose)
  • What's in the house, and comes into and out of my consciousness:
    • Blaine Brownell's first (in a series) "Transmaterials", from 2005. --- 4 stars so far (mostly good stuff, but many are not materials, but implementations)
    • Taschen's line of Philip Jojidio's Now! typologies, "Temporary Architecture Now!" from 2011. --- 4 stars so far (some seem more like they could be permanently temporary, like the LA Temporary Contemporary, and in the back of my mind is the nagging thought of where all those temporary materials end up -- trash?)
    • Judy Shepard's "Small Stores under 250 sq-m", from 2011. --- 5 stars so far (I love checking out how other people use materials and space, and this one is pure eye candy)
  • On tap for the next 30 days:
