You can read, you can cook, and you can get some work done. For the time, that will keep you busy.
It is hard, these narrow days, on the bread baker and hard on the vegetable stand, hard on deliveries, hard on humor and hardest perhaps of all on the medical people.
Soon enough, the days will fill again with their burst of people and possibilities and chance and needs and prospects. And we will not recall the lockdown of time. With any luck, you have made a few silk purses of it.

A very handsome volume, beautifully produced, often impossible to get or find, we have for the moment inventory of Planet City, even as the publisher is nearly out. It is a book of Future Possible, a wild speculation of a City of Caretaking, a mad notion of World Order by centralizing.
To imagine a world pushed to extreme densification - a world where 10 billion people surrender the rest of the planet to a global wilderness. In the hope of saving both themselves and their world. The hyper-dense Metropolis for all people, that they may be able to remain and be people. To finally confront and contain and maintain a relation to climate, to growth, to nature.
From the LA film director and architect, Liam Young, and a collaborative team of environmental scientists, here is a very intricate techno fiction, shaped like a city, to save a planet. A black book of proposition.

A great and fine book, this one, 1400 pages thick, with full color from Baan photos, a world examination of building and its relation to the ground. Architecture as geology, as topography, as mimic, as spiral, as integral. The examples range wonderfully from the Frey House just in the hills above Palm Springs, in blatant color, to libraries in South Africa, hotels in Amsterdam, housing in New Zealand, Museum in Lyon. All in the study of the ground upon which it is all built.

It is not an encyclopedia of buildings to the earth. It is an intricate review of the recent millennial architecture, in hopes of reconnecting building to its very soil.

A photographic essay, this, carefully presenting three typologies of historical architecture in Korea - a Confucian school, a tea house and harden, and a shrine. Binet is a perfect vision for this - she knows and loves both detail and time, both moment and length, both color and texture.

The photos, both in elegant black and white and in full color, they are the essay, they are the story and the very romance of the three locations. The making of place.

2021
Whatever was, wasn’t,
and whatever wasn’t, was, for a moment.
But in the end, moments pass and lengths do hold.
All our best for 2022.
