I always read ur articles and i feel the same as everybody here: ur site is Gold for everyone who love the world of Architecture. too funny reading what had been important to me back then, with little diagrams explaining things too. My summer jobs with architectural firms provided my spending money through the year. Well saved.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023

Although the word monograph literally applies to any book devoted to any individual subject — be it a person, a place, a thing, or even an idea — in the realm of architecture books that one-word term is used more prevalently, if not strictly, in regards to individual architects and/or firms.

This is really a diagram of parts to be resolved … pretty sure I would need a header (structure) where the window connects with the roof plane. But I really enjoy and follow your site.

Part of my job was traveling back and forth to the site for meetings and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” was a huge hit then.

I have removed most aggregate sites from my list for this reason. If you have a site and can’t be bothered with generating your own content, or adding your voice to the conversation – I’m probably not coming back. Simply sharing a link to someone else’s site isn’t good enough to make this list.
