Great architecture photography from Trevor Patt.  I especially like these photos of the new academic building for The Cooper Union, by Morphosis

If You Build It, They Will Walk - The Slow Issue - GOOD


  Increasingly, designers are applying walking-oriented urban-planning ideas to buildings, and some see elevators as the architectural equivalent of the value meal: unhealthy, unsustainable, and bad for social exchange. Provide people with nicer, more centrally located stairs where they can interact with others, some designers say, and they’ll skip the elevator.

So, I’m wearing a zipper hoodie and a zipper jacket, and I attempt to zip the former while talking to my friend Ian. And then this happened.

Clothing Spiral!  How deep can it go?

When I first left a full-time job to begin freelancing, for a brief time, I would run, shower, dress, and ride the train in a loop from my apartment and back again to begin work at home. Ritual is important.

On the surface, riding the train in a loop sounds like the actions of a crazy person, but I think I get it. It must be hard to work from home, and still have that sense of responsibility that comes from sitting in an office with a bunch of productive people.

I guess one way to add that back in, would be to get outside, sit amongst other members of the workforce, and maybe read the paper, as opposed to just shluffing over to the computer in your PJs.

Interesting proposal for raised bikeways from architect Martin Angelov.  The system uses tracks to guide the wheels and steel wires that attach to handlebars and provide a safety mechanism.

I would love to be able to safely cruise over busy intersections without having to wait for traffic lights.  I think a system like this could be a great way to promote bike commuting, rewarding those who don’t drive with a faster route through the city.

On about February 14th the Americans came over, followed by the R.A.F. their combined labors killed 250,000 people in twenty-four hours and destroyed all of Dresden — possibly the world’s most beautiful city. But not me.
The Future is never about the most practical and useful outcome, it’s about flying cars and cute robots who shit talk but will still mix you up a killer G’n’T when you need it.

Bici is the italian slang for bike/bikes. Every Bertelli bicycle is a  unique design object that you won’t find in any store in New York City. Every part  is assembled by hand, finished and fine-tuned by me, Francesco.
These bikes are damn sexy.  Go get yourself one.  Starting at $1,500.
