NOTE FROM NEW ORLEANS Dear ArchitectureWeek, Greetings from New Orleans!
|
|
EXTRAORDINARY INTERPRETER At a time when the stylistic vogue in Europe was moving from Arts and Crafts into what became known as Modernism, out in the far West of America a talented and remarkable architect was expressing a special regional style that also continues to resonate strongly. And her name was not Frank.

WORDS AND BUILDINGS Some of the great and defining architects of the modern European tradition put their design and process philosophy and intentions into words. Even if you've encountered some of these statements before — and whether or not you agree with the attiudes and explanations expressed — you may find these thought-provoking today. Walter Gropius

PAPADOPOULOS GLASS While most glass artists treat their medium with care, one of them deliberately shatters it. Cyprus-born, London-based Yorgos Papadopoulos has developed an edgy art form that is attracting international attention. His work exploits the crystalline forms of broken glass and mixes in bold combinations of color to create provocative art panels.
