Check out this article in Variety that discusses declining theater attendance and reduced film production.

I love this compilation of Architects dressed as their buildings from Skyscraper Magazine. Anyone know the date or issue for this article? How did they get all those egos into those buildings?

The mind wanders at the true potential of this technology beyond the facade as a flat surface for visuals. Imagine buildings responding to adjacent programmatic uses and environmental conditions to better fit daily community needs. Maybe this would enable our buildings to have longer life spans as their usability could adapt to ever-changing, site specific needs. Quite the opposite to past form-fetish based architectural designs… Brutalism anyone?

The City of Melbourne Australia is going through a hollistic rebranding process.  They are not only changing the design of their logo, they are changing their identity as a “place”.  I’ve always thought detailed analysis and comprehensive planning is the best way to make a city more livable.  Have a look at Landor’s reinvisioned M Logo.

Love this! Check out the full article for a brief history of flash and be sure to read through the hysterical comments.

Looks like momentum is building for a new airport in Manhattan which will reinvent our famous Central Park into a modern transportation hub. This will finally let NYC jump into the 21st Century with a truly accessible airport. Visions of Robert Moses slashing his forward thinking highway system through neighborhood all over the city come to mind. No more subways and bus transfers to Laguardia or 2 hour cab rides to JFK. Check out the Foundations website for lots of amazing details - sign the petition, project vision, dedicate an airport bench, airport map, etc.

Be sure to follow the airport’s future progression via twitter and to see the hundreds of supportive post from folks on their facebook page.
