twice
To my surprise, the book is signed by Peter Eisenman himself, twice even.

On night at the VSB office, when I saw the column on the model (that was soon being shipped to London, or a detail façade study model), I remember thinking there's something not right about it, and I said so to the employee (perhaps even an associate at that time) that I was with. I was then told that Venturi himself had a fair amount of difficulty in resolving that particular part of the design. It was all a matter of how to punctuate the cascade of Corinthian order from original building to new wing. The final decision, if I recall correctly, was between the half column and a free standing column on pedestal. I'm still inclined to think that no column might have been the best choice, as if to say that in this case punctuation didn't matter.

Essentially, there were twice as many active threads within a 24 hour period in 2010 than there are now.

Not sure where the thought came from, but upon waking up this morning I found myself thinking "precursor of Calatrava."

And regarding Paul Goldberger's take on critical relevance in the social media age, I'm thinking somewhere between "In the future everything (critical) will be an advertisement" and "In the future everything (critical) will be self-published." Yikes, does that mean in the present/future everything critical will be a self-published advertisement?!

Carrera, I like that line of thinking. A chain-link version of the Farnsworth House is especially intriguing. As to a "Ghost Structure," the Farnsworth House already is that--just remove the glass and the interior "walls."
thinking
A few years ago now, my cousin Adam (born in Brestowatz 1930) was still thinking of going back to Brestowatz with two of his grand-daughters for a visit. That kind of wishful thinking is indicative of most of the Donau-Schwaben that I've known throughout my life; they all thought so longingly for the homeland that they were forced to leave after World War II.

My advise is make as much money as you can while you can, and try very hard to increase your savings and/or decrease your debt. Don't be thinking "make more thus spend more." At this point in your life try thinking "make more and spend less." Really look at all your expenditures and try real hard to eliminate (or lessen) as many as possible.
thinking
I didn't answer your questions because in your line of thinking a plastic bottle is not only natural but it may also be the driving force behind the assimilating growth of the city of Anchorage Alaska which in turn is actually the nature of all evil within a forthcoming alien civilization that will live...

in a parallel-time galaxy next to ours, and, considering that on the scale of galaxies parallel lines actually do come to meet at some point, these two galaxies will crash, backwards yes but crash nonetheless, in space-time, relatively speaking, of course.

Now, thinking of drawings, particularly Beaux Arts reconstructions of ancient architecture, you could say they are misleading, but that's due to there not being enough remaining evidence to know what the ancient buildings exactly looked like. They were, however, never meant to deceive, but, to those viewers that do not know the full story of the reconstructive process, the drawings might certainly put a false idea into the uninitiated viewer's head.
thinking
I was initially thinking of the more elaborate pattering at Gledstone Hall, but the patterning at AT&T is more akin to the stark/bold patterning at Midland Bank, London and the Viceroy's House, New Delhi.
thinking
Orhan, right now I'm only thinking about the Vanna Venturi House, and not (yet) thinking of any broader implications. I just couldn't think of any real compelling reasons why it's important that the house remain preserved "as it has been maintained thus far." Can you think of any compelling reasons why it's important that the house remain preserved "as it has been maintained thus far?"

Don't tell me cuteness and wishful thinking are the same thing.

...that's perfectly fine, but it remains curious as to how you have now twice changed your original statement.

Don't tell me cuteness and wishful thinking are the same thing.

Oh dear, I just found myself thinking about the possible positive aspects of dead-end-thinking(?!).

On Tuesday I unexpected found myself thinking about the letter Robert Venturi sent me where he lamented the loss of the big BASCO sign in Northeast Philadelphia and thanked me for telling his firm about the sign's removal.
