TRAVEL
I will be away for about 10 days traveling. I fully expect to employ Transparent Drawing for the famous iconographic buildings that I will see. While I realize that there are apps that let you post from the phone, is any of this that important that it can’t wait?
On the same topic, this is my first experience with social media. Now that I have stuck my toe into it, I really have to wonder what all of the fuss has been about. Facebook has a current valuation of $185 billion? Really? Keep in mind my opinions are that of a 58 year old. It may very well be difficult to teach an old dog new tricks.
While you are away, check out the Liyuan Library. See http://www.dezeen.com/2011/10/24/liyuan-library-by-li-xiaodong/ and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/10382588/The-most-spectacular-libraries-in-the-world.html?frame=2705748&page=1. The interior view of the Liyuan Librry presents a different sort of transparency. Li Xiaodong created an amazingly simple structure. Reading there must be very comfortable. Wonder how many architecture books there are?
I every time spent my half an hour to read this website’s articles or reviews daily along with a mug of coffee.
