    Killing Us With Kindness:
    You Betcha!

    3,341 words

    To be sure, [Heidegger’s] empty formula of “thoughtful remembrance” can also be filled in with a different attitudinal syndrome, for ex­ample with the anarchist demand for a subversive stance of refusal, which corresponds more to present moods than does blind submission to something superior. But the arbitrariness with which the same thought-figure can be given contemporary actualization remains irritating.  (more…)

    Library of Congress Reading Room

    Earlier this month, the Architectural Record obtained a draft copy of an executive order that, if implemented, would have a significant impact on federal architecture.

    What’s in a Home?

    2,155 words

    I took an interest in architecture a few years back, after reading Crawford’s The World Beyond Your Head. The book described the effects of the arrangement of space on how we perceived and acted in the world. The effects of arranged space could be negative—the distraction of eye-catching advertisements and flashing lights—or positive—the machine-like feeling of cooking in a well-stocked and well-organized kitchen.

    Hitler as Artist & Patron

    3,042 words

    Frederic Spotts
    Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics
    New York: The Overlook Press, 2003

    Leaders throughout history have frequently deployed the arts as a means by which to display their power. Hitler is unusual, however, in that art was central to his political vision. He was intensely interested in the arts (painting, sculpture, music, and architecture) and dreamed of forging a state whose artistic and cultural achievements would rival those of ancient Greece and Rome.

    The Architecture of Imre Makovecz

    1,626 words

    Imre Makovecz was one of the great architects of the late twentieth century and the most notable proponent of organic architecture in Hungary. His works are characterized by an idiosyncratic style that melds modern influences with motifs inspired by Hungarian folklore. He designed nearly five hundred buildings over the course of his life, about half of which were built.

    Brigitte Hamann’s Hitler’s Vienna, Part 3:
    Portrait of the Young Man as an Artist

    4,508 words

    HitlerContemplatesPart 3

    Hitler is awake all the 24 hours of the day in perfecting his sadhana [self-transcendence]. He wins because he pays the price. His inventions surprise his enemies. But it is his single-minded devotion to his purpose that should be the object of our admiration and emulation. Although he works all his waking hours, his intellect is unclouded and unerring. Are our intellects unclouded and unerring? — Mahatma Gandhi[1]  (more…)

    Frank Lloyd Wright/Frank Lloyd Wrong

    June 8, 1867–April 9, 1959

    June 8, 1867–April 9, 1959

    2,943 words

    So long, Frank Lloyd Wright
    I can’t believe your song is gone so soon.
    I barely learned the tune
    So soon, So soon.
    Architects may come and
    Architects may go and
    Never change your point of view.
    When I run dry
    I stop awhile and think of you.

    Ralph Adams Cram:
    Wild Boy of American Architecture

    2,775 words

    Ralph Adams Cram, 1863–1942

    “We all understand that intriguing tribal rites are acted out beyond the groomed exteriors and purple-tinged bow windows of Louisburg Square, but except for what some literary, chosen-few Bostonians have divulged, we don’t know what these coded rituals are, and never will.” — Truman Capote, “Hidden Gardens” [1]

    “Great cathedrals, such as colonial Spain built between Mexico City and Buenos Aires, have had little appeal to a people disparaging greatness and grandeur.” (more…)
