new squares hanging in michael johnsons's studio

just hooked up the printer and was testing it out. it is fun to mix contexts, in this case my work (photos of oakland details) camped in michael's paintings.

we have a history of working in relation. see my piece of his piece.

last batch of quotes from "four walking tours of modern architecture in nyc" by louise huxtable

-The appearance of the building is the direct visual expression of this structural grid, which creates an all-over pattern of equal horizontal and vertical emphasis -- here abstract geometric design of relatively pleasant proportion and color.

-This striking, even stark simplicity was meant to emphasize the revolutionary character of the new modern style.

-it is experimental and the results is on the garish side ...

-there is, however, unfortunate lack of design integration...

-The lobby confuses with a multiplicity of inadequately related details ... achieve only a conflicting fussiness legitimate neither as structure nor as decoration.

getting started

nothing like a little experimentation...

quotes

"four walking tours of modern architecture in new york city" by louise huxtable, 1961

-unparalleled visual drama

-it is a system of design and assembly that has proved eminently exploitable, producing an unimaginative set of cliches

-The pre-eminent client for this new architecture has been the large corporation for whom modern design a Park Avenue address are prestige factors of the first order.

-large open pedestrian areas

-trend setting tower

-extravagant and exuberant

-Although this calculated unconventionality often stretches creative imagination to the breaking point, the results are notable in a field marked by increasing standardization of design.

-trend toward impressively designed business building lobbies

-the design is an efficient but routine solution

-If the insistence on this bare simplicity was overstrict, it succeeded in its purpose of re-establishing sensitivity to the important basic elements of architecture -- the wall, the frame, the nature of materials, and the proper relationship of the essential parts of the whole.

getting down to business in the new new studio
