SUPERRECTANGLE: Hip Hip Hooray for Bow Wow
http://superrectangle.blogspot.com/2009/09/bow-wow_29.html
Hip Hip Hooray for Bow Wow. Currently, my favorite architectural firm is Atelier Bow Wow. A young Japanese firm that specializes in small scale residential projects. In there 2006 they published a book. Their work responds to the economic climate since the Nikkei crashed in the 1990’s. Needless to say a survey or buildings leading into the economic collapses in. And US (and worldwide) were plagued by tremendous proportions and irrational exuberance. In the 80's. I won't even mention the Toren.

SUPERRECTANGLE: Caffeine To Go
http://superrectangle.blogspot.com/2009/10/caffeine-to-go.html
I love Caffeine. I wish I could add it to my OJ instead of being a slave to coffee. Have they invented this yet? Why is this not readily available? Where can I buy it? Http:/ www.xlxs.org/.

McDonald's vs The World. McDonald's is is a modern empire. They bring cheeseburgers but also economic infrastructures to their colonies. Tracking their movement through international borders while charting beef processing, oil, the price of a big mac and international conflict. Http:/ www.xlxs.org/. Http:/ www.thelivingnewyork.com/.

SUPERRECTANGLE: Door Hardware Maven
http://superrectangle.blogspot.com/2011/03/door-hardware-maven.html
The most intersting and important feature on the door may be the pull. it is the element we touch and interact with it is how we feel a door - you rarely will touch the door slab. The NYT ran an article on Rhett Bulter, the NYC resident architectural hardware superstar. Check out tyhe article. T. His guy is such a dork i love it. It’s an amazing field — it incorporates design, history, material sciences. It’s a technical thing and a decorative thing at the same time". Http:/ www.nytimes.com/2010/.

SUPERRECTANGLE: Quintesential Question of Architecture
http://superrectangle.blogspot.com/2010/06/quintesential-architecture-question.html
Quintesential Question of Architecture. I always find myself thinking about Brownsville. Years ago our studio at Columbia that used brownsville to address a quintessential question about architecture. It asked to plan 2 residential blocks in New York City -which already has the perfect fundamental brownstone building block template. An almost impossible model to improve on. Not to mention the architectural detail is gorgeous. Brownstone Building Block Template / Perimeter Block Layout.

SUPERRECTANGLE: What if NYC had Piazzas?
http://superrectangle.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-if-nyc-had-piazzas.html
What if NYC had Piazzas? What if New York City had piazzas? The funny part is we already have a network of beautiful old Italianate Churches that can make Rome jealous. And for some reason we put high traffic roads in front of their doorsteps. Whoops. We are ignoring our treasured spaces. The hard part is already built. why don't we have public space in front of them? Santa Croche, Florence - Famous Piazza with street vendors and cafes. Brooklyn flea as an example of the Brooklyn Piazza.
