I discovered Unzoomed and got Kyoto in one.
Le Corbusier: let us return to the platonic volumes, cubes, cylinders, what have you
Asplund: [builds Stockholm Public Library]
Le Corbusier: not like that

Maybe she should have done a degree that involved critical thought. Many to choose from but one might suggest, say, English Literature or Anthropology, for instance.
Amazing facts. It's almost as if people like education for reasons other than cash. Apparently this is bad?
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

No no, I tried it once and it was far more polite than the real me would ever have been, it absolutely loves the small talk.

Not quite sure what's going on here but enjoying the idea of living in a Clarice Cliff world. Unbuilt competition-winning scheme for Croydon Civic Centre by F. W. Halfhide and R. J. O'Donoghue, 1935.
Mildly amused by this presumably lost corner of the 'Treasury Corridor' in John Soane's Bank of England.
Have just read the phrase "heretofore the vogue" and made a mental note to put it into use as often as I can.
The fact that Europeans accept ID cards despite, and maybe even because of, direct experience of dictatorship and fascism, should probably be telling us something. But ID cards optional and only because "bad migrants" doesn't seem like a convincing case.
I think this about all the independent shops in our suburb. Why do they close at 5, when buses start arriving with commuters ready to pop in on their way home?
