The October issue of Wallpaper* magazine is out. Apart from featuring SCI-Arc on its very small list of architecture schools, they have a photo spread on the Geisel library in San Diego. It's about time that they caught up to kazys.net.

Inexplicably, and unlike kazys.net, Wallpaper* fails to mention that Theodore Geisel, after whom the library is named, is otherwise known as Dr. Seuss.

I gave a lecture entitled "Los Angeles. Urbanism After the Metropolis" at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Faculty members at this excellent institution very kindly showed me around. The results are visible on the slide show of two Tennessee Valley Authority dams. Click here. Also check out the early SOM project at Oak Ridge.
