Only I, the architect of the U.S. Supreme Court…(bookstore), possess the skills worthy of a major addition to the White House. 😤
Excerpt from WaPo article reads: “McCrery, a classical architect and the founder and principal of McCrery Architects, had designed works like the U.S. Supreme Court bookstore and the pedestal for President Ronald Reagan's statue in the U.S. Capitol. The ballroom was the largest-ever project for his firm, which has specialized in designing churches, libraries and homes.”

There needs to be a rule or whatever that when you have a lone remaining historic bldg that lost all its fellow zero lot line neighbors in the past, any new bldgs next or it have to be zero lot line too, otherwise these survivors just look contextually goofy, despite their historic beauty.

I don’t know what this person is trying to say, but it feels vaguely insulting of both the club and of brutalism, so 👎
Excerpt from MLS article reads: “The set-pieceiest team in the world (really, the world) gets the job done by launching dead balls toward the box and heaving throw-ins at the goal. It's beautiful in a brutalist architecture kind of way.” I’ve highlighted the last sentence.

Can’t wait for the rushed, poorly informed amateur explanations of how the HK high rise fire happened and how we can prevent it from housing Bluesky posters, who are essentially RFK Jrs., except for building science. I’m here, ready to drink your harvest of life-safety expertise!

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

Honestly, this administration going after Boy Scouts is brilliant — get libs defending an org that forces religion on kids, has been anti-LGBTQ+, and has covered up abuse and assault.

Barron’s really not liking that a memo addressing dead serious shit is getting dressed up like a sales brochure here lmao
Excerpt from Barron’s article reads: “Nvidia's memo, which includes fonts in the company's trademark green color, begins by addressing a social media post from Michael Burry last week, which criticized the company for stock-based compensation dilution and stock buybacks.”

Your intentions are in the right place, but at $25M, you’ve priced it to sell to a crypto bro who’ll use to to store his collection of KAWS statues and paint it chartreuse on the recommendation of his 20yo Twitch influencer girlfriend.
Excerpt from Archinect article reads: “"The time has come to identify the next steward of Case Study House #22—someone who not only appreciates its architectural significance but also understands its place in the cultural landscape of Los Angeles and beyond," the family added. "It is profoundly important to us that the new owner honor the legacy of our parents, Buck and Carlotta, respect Pierre Koenig's vision, and be committed to protecting the house today and far into the future."”

these numbers seem conservative lol
Excerpt from AN article reads: “The report highlights cracks in the basics of business health. Forty-one percent of firms don't track realization (how much of their team's time is billed and paid) leaving potential revenue untapped, and more than a third don't know their overhead rate, with only 48 percent reporting profit margins above 15 percent.”

Important elucidation: “because it’s in the shape of a ball”
Rendering of a spherical building with more than a passing resemblance to a landlocked Death Star. Excerpt from GCN article reads: “The so-called "Grand Ballroom" - because it's in the shape of a ball - is planned on the site of Tirana's Asllan Rusi Sports Palace, named after Albania's most famous volleyball player, who died in 1983.”

dining trends: booze 📉 weed 📈
Excerpt from WSJ article reads: “ Thank—or blame—the “cousin walk.”  The term is shorthand for the moment when certain younger members of the family quietly grab their coats, glance toward the door and—clutch those pearls—get stoned before rejoining the festivities with altered minds and ravenous hunger.  “We kind of look at each other and go, ‘Ready for that walk?’” says Priyanka Pulijal, 36, a Los Angeles cannabis enthusiast who never hits the holiday without a stash. “We have a couple puffs and just laugh about something, roll our eyes at our silly uncle, just have a good time.” ” Excerpt from BI article reads: “ Momofuku founder David Chang says America's youth isn't drinking alcohol in the same way as earlier generations, and it has become the "real existential threat" to the restaurant industry. "Kids just don't drink anymore," Chang said in an interview with TBPN talk-show hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays this week. "They are never going to know what it is like to wake up at 3 p.m. in the afternoon and be like: 'Shit, I left my credit card in that bar.'" Gen Z not getting drunk is a problem for restaurants, he said, where the sales ratio is generally about 70% food to 30% beverages. "Something is going to give when you are down 18% on beverage sales," he said, citing average sales numbers across the restaurant industry.”

#OnThisDay Nov 21, 1967: Nicollet Mall, the first transit-oriented street in the United States and Lawrence Halprin's landscape design masterpiece, is dedicated. Subsequent renovations of this space have never equaled the elegant modernism of the original.

Please note that AIA Code of Ethics Rule 1.403 explicitly states that AIA members should not design spaces intended for execution.

Excerpt from Strib article reads: “In April 2023, Wrecktangle agreed to borrow upwards of $3 million from the Palace to fund the restaurants' "capital contribution" and make monthly installment payments starting in October 2023, including any”
