Beautiful Bauhaus

Bunk with Breuer and the gang. The Bauhaus Dessau is now open to the public,
a modernist dream. For $47 a night, you can snooze in the same rooms that were
shared by Joseph Albers and architects Franz Ehrlich and Alfred Arndt.
Sweet dreams indeed. Sleep like a Bauhasler.

Beautiful Green Architecture

I had the pleasure of touring the new Bullitt Center
tonight with other members of the IIDA. Kudos to
Robert Pena, an architecture professor at the UW
and consultant for the Integrated Design Lab, for
leading the group.
The Bullitt Center is the greenest commercial
building in the world. Hopefully it starts a trend.

Exterior Bullitt center
These exterior “blinds” open and close according
to the level of sunlight. When we arrived they were
closed; as the sun was setting a short time later
they automatically opened to allow more light
into the space.

Beautiful Photography

These images, taken from the top of the Egyptian pyramids with Cairo in the
background, are simply astonishing. I keep staring at them in amazement.
It is incredible to me these works of art were built thousands of years ago by
humans with nary a high-tech tool. Kudos to those willing to take the risk.
