Interesting video. And there is also a follow-on. .

I love just walking through the place ignoring the exhibits and observing the building. .

Aside from those Apple stores in Chicago, there are a number of Apple antique resellers in a few Chicago suburbs such as Evanston. These resellers have managed to make a dollar by offering older models completely reconditioned. I love the museum-look of some of the older fare - ranging from tiny...

Although business is not a direct parallel to schools, of course, this is what IBM did several years back, when it found that big was not always viable. After attempting to break itself up into smaller units to be more competitive as a company, the results were still mixed but they began to see...

Small change in one way, big change in another. In my home I use no traditional incandescent bulbs in any place but one room - the dining room. At first I experimented with the CFLs exclusively, but then I thought the illumination was far less than what was claimed. Subsequently I used a light...

Strange Things Uncovered While Researching Rem - #9 Rem Koolhaas on OMA/Koolhaas: "I like to do things that on first sight have a degree of simplicity but show their complexity in the way they are used or at second glance ... We are flamboyant conceptually, but not formally." left -...

I too am saddened by John Harkness' passing. Having high cholesterol levels myself, I would have never known it without testing, but should have expected it, given family history. Statins have caused problems for me with my leg muscles, so I have had to adopt a more complex regimen.

I am perfectly aware at this point of the history of the evolving thread. You will note I have used the phrasing "...at any time...." The remarks were also directed to the Moderators, although this is never explicitly stated. .

If it needs to be said, I will say it. Sean - I've already seen these remarks before, so they are not enough for me. I am bitterly outraged at the way this debate has been handled from above. And this final element has indeed taken me to the realisation that what I thought this forum was all...

I would like to know why it is OK for a Moderator to divide a discussion up, and attach someone's name to a thread at any time, without asking that person first? -- Zephyr By the way, this is not just for future reference. Your answers will be a major factor I need in making a decision on...

Kunsthal - Interiors 5 Tilted Columns exist in the Café as well, and are quite disorienting. In the picture ahead note the neon lighting attached to the ceiling but unlit. Then compare it to the lit version slightly distorted by the camera in the photo just beneath in the same café. Natural...

L-a-s-t P-o-s-t This is also my last post to this thread. So post all the pictures and praise to high heaven your marvelous Stern building. Toronto, you deserve every last inch of it! - Z

Kunsthal - What are these? A companion theme to the Smilies are these figures. I do not know what they are suppose to be, but they have a kind of outlaw style to them. When you or I find out what they are, this post will be updated. Rem Koolhaas Kunsthal 1992 Rotterdam, Nederland First...

Kunsthal - Interiors 3 Again on first level, we see one of the first uses by Rem Koolhaas of iconography. In this post we focus on the Smilie faces indicating Yes/No or Allowed/Forbitten etc. A far cry from Michael Rock's pictograms for Koolhaas at IIT. But one cannot help but notice the oddly...

Kunsthal - Interiors 2 Still on first level. Using the overview panoramic of that last post as a reference, we saw the rear of the seating area, here we are seeing the front of that very same seating - meaning the reverse angle. Rem Koolhaas Kunsthal 1992 Rotterdam, Nederland Audience...

How many of these have I seen for just about every North American city? Too many I guess.

I see you have evaluated all of Stern's critics herein and have come to this lovely conclusion. I cannot begin to understand this reaction, but I do know this - he has critics outside of this forum that are quite distinguished, even if you feel we critics here are unworthy of speaking to the...
