Marcel Breuer + Atlanta
My friend, Claire, recently wrote an excellent post about the Atlanta – Fulton Public Library which just so happens to be Marcel Breuer’s last project. It also happens to be on the chopping block.
Claire writes, “The library exists as a prime example of the Brutalist style. The building can also be found on [...]
Julius Shulman – Photographer
Celebrated Photographer of Modernist Architecture
(1910 – 2009)
Starting with Richard Neutra in 1936, Shulman’s roster of clients read like a who’s who of pioneering contemporary architecture: Rudolf M.

Derek Lam – New York, New York
I spotted this article about Derek Lam’s shop in SoHo over at Architectural Record and thought I’d share it with all of you. At first glance, I liked what I saw… twenty seconds later I decided that there was something I didn’t like at all. I can’t quite put my finger on it really. I [...]

(Why, hello Chicago buildings… How YOU doin’?)
I love this view from the Modern Wing – you can see the Pritzker Pavilion, Lurie Garden, Two Prudential Plaza, [...]
Burnham Plan Centennial + Zaha Hadid
Chicago’s centennial homage to the 1909 Plan of Chicago by Daniel Burnham makes me want to visit Chicago again. (Oh, who am I kidding… just about everything makes me want to visit that city again! If it weren’t for the cold weather… I’d move there in a heartbeat.)
And what exactly is the Burnham [...]
Interior Design Links
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a roundup of links, particularly Interior Design links! I’ve been collecting quite a few as of late in a folder “To Write About…” in my bookmarks, but really, I don’t know what else to add to these subjects; they stand so well on their own, y’know? [...]
3 Books You Should Read
I LOVE books… If confronted with the decision to buy either an awesome pair of earrings or a fabulous book, odds are high that I’ll buy the book. (Read: nerd). Of course I’m a big girly girl… if these earrings happen to be the real pearls that I’ve been lusting after for years then [...]

Hello!
