Ah ha! We were right! Just a couple of weeks back, we were talking about Prince Charles' right hand man, the architect and fellow modernism hater, Leon Krier, and how we thought maybe his speaking engagement in San Diego might be "the first step toward getting Prince Charles' over in the …

We don't get to point to any of those "can you believe how stupid this law breaker was?!" stories very often because, well, this design field of ours is relatively sane. The worst that usually happens is the occasional copyright infringement case or someone taking advantage with spec work. But finally …

Back in early October, we were getting a little worried about Oscar Niemeyer, the world's oldest starchitect (I.M. Pei ranks second), who at 101 had undergone two major surgeries, one planned, one not. But like we said back then, "if there's one thing we can say about Niemeyer, he's a fighter." …

"I cannot count the number of clients who hae marched in and said, 'Give the next iPod.' But it's probably close to the number of designers I've heard respond—under their breath—'Give me the next Steve Jobs.'" -Tim Brown, CEO and president of IDEO, in his new book, Change by Design (HarperCollins) New …

When The Diving Bell and the Butterfly began its rounds in American theaters, one of the final directorial details attended to by Julian Schnabel was selecting—and then fine-tuning—the typeface and hue of the English subtitles (the film is in French). Hearing Schnabel thoughtfully discuss the merits of pale yellow text versus …

(Courtesy The Empty Quarter, Dubai) 'Tis the season for Paris Photo, where 102 galleries and publishers from 23 countries are taking part in the world's leading photography fair. This year's fair, which runs through Sunday at the Carrousel du Louvre, spotlights Arab and Iranian photography with a three-part project curated by …

Way back when in 2007, we were one of the first outlets to tell you that Robert A.M. Stern had been hired to design the George W. Bush Presidential Center, then again earlier this year about its sudden increase in size and Laura Bush finding a landscape architect for the project …

Last week marked the opening of starchitect Zaha Hadid's Maxxi, a museum housing contemporary art, in Rome. The NY Times resident critic, Nicolai Ouroussoff decided to open his recent (and glowing) review of the new building, "What would Pope Urban VIII have made of Maxxi....? My guess is that he would …

Sad news to start off the day with. Late yesterday, it was reported that Jeanne-Claude, the French artist who was married to and collaborated with Christo on a wide-variety of massive projects that largely involved huge installations, like "The Umbrellas" in Japan and "The Gates" in New York's Central Park, has …

If we weren't saving up all of our spending money (in a Harry Allen-designed piggy bank, naturally) for Art Basel Miami, we would be snapping up one of those freshly discounted airfares to London. Once deposited across the pond, we'd head straight for the Ed Ruscha retrospective at the Hayward. After …

High-flying advertising executive turned author James Othmer's new book, Adland: Searching for Life on a Branded Planet (Doubleday), offers an inside look at the past, present, and future of the ad industry. His tales of the wild and morally questionable ride from the days of Mad Men to branded iPhone apps …

A year and a half after he stepped up to replace longtime Vogue design director Charles Churchward, Danko Steiner has decided to leave the magazine. He is concluding his four-year tenure at Vogue to pursue photography, according to a report from WWD. Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is bringing in Raúl Martinez, principal …

We've seen celebrities "design" piles upon piles of clothing, shoes, and anything else they can get their grubby little celebrity hands on. But now singer/songwriter Taylor Swift can lay claim to being the first to get into the lucrative greeting card market (those cards with people like Sigourney Weaver telling you …

We pick you up and then drop you back down. Sorry, but that's just how we roll around here. As positive as that last post was about the Billings Index rise, that doesn't necessarily mean much to a project that's getting shut down. So it is for UC Berkley, who wanted …

Have we survived? Have we really put these dark days behind us and come out alive? So it might seem when you hear the news that the AIA's Architecture Billing Index is finally back to the levels it was at in August of 2008, right before the world fell apart. Granted, …

If you like interesting or attractive scenery, but particularly if you enjoy looking at it through windows, 2009 is going to be a red letter year for you, given that there are two new books available that provide just that. First up is Matteo Pericoli's The City Out My Window: 63 …

Here's your chance to walk a mile in Christoph Niemann's shoes—or those of John Maeda, James Victore, Ellen Lupton, Jessica Helfand, or Louise Fili. Each of these design world luminaries have customized a pair of TOMS shoes that are now up for auction on eBay to raise funds for the Art …

It's been quite the year for iconic children's books. Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar recently munched its way to age 40, and now The Polar Express is celebrating 25 years of enchanting readers with its mildly creepy brand of Christmas whimsy. Written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg, the Caldecott …

Banksy might be the biggest of the big in the street art/vandalism game, but our new favorite is John Scott, reportedly the oldest tagger ever apprehended (in California at least). For more than half a year, the 73 year old had been slapping stickers everywhere in areas around Los Angeles which …

Poor Thomas Kinkade. All he wanted to do was paint light. Recently there were those mean people he had to pay $2.1 million to because they said he and his company scammed them. Now there are a bunch of San Franciscan artists who are poking fun at his well-lit artwork at …
