Friday Snippets 6.12.09
Our furniture arrived one week ago and we have reached the end of the unpacking.
Had a little bit of time to do some reading this week, as well as getting out and wandering the streets of Chicago. So much to explore.
Went down to the Chicago Architecture Foundation yesterday to see the unveiling of
their Chicago Model City. It is pretty amazing. Read more about it here. [Chicago Tribune]
If you're from Chicago, or a returning resident like yours truly, you had to wonder
why the lake front park didn't extend all the way from Evanston to the Indiana border. The Friends of the Parks organization is proposing a design to complete the job. [Friends of the Parks]
Some people are for it, some people are against it. [Cityscapes]
City of Lights, Camera, Action. Not talking Hollywood here. [Invisible Paris]
Los Angeles can mean so many different things to so many different people. When
you are trying to find a three digit street number, the differences can be great. [Ampersand Seven]
When I think of Rome and architecture, forums, churches and palazzos come to mind.
How about a foray to Rome's central mosque? [eternallycool]
Lots of reading this week about the 53rd Venice Biennale. Big doings every couple of
years for the art world. Tidy, disciplined, cautious and unremarkable was one of the kinder pieces I read. [New York Times]
Remember the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Remember the house and garage?
The place is for sale and here are some amazing photographs of iconic mid-century design. [Hello Beautiful]
Have a great weekend. We're going to visit the Old Town Art Fair - haven't been in decades.
