I hope everyone was able to enjoy domesticity during the just past holiday. I indulged my inner domestic goddess by cooking a pretty good ‘Pasta al Forno’, which actually gets better two days after baking, keeps well in the fridge and will feed you for half a week!
I have also been surfing the web and handpicking the best architecture and design sites the world over, thanks to the World Architecture Community– do check out the new blogroll .:Global Architecture:.
Must-See:
1. Architecture Lab, a fresh, young, visually captivating and insightful international online architecture and urban design magazine edited by Aline Chahine, an architect living and working in Beirut, Lebanon.
The Architecture bites offered here are just the right size, as a prelude to your favorite periodical or taken on their own.
Can Architecture be delicious? Well, check out Architecture Lab and let me know. Made me fall in love with A. all over again.
I love Aline’s chosen quote:
” A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.”- Frank Lloyd Wright
2. NotCot. They believe in ideas, aesthetics, and amusement. And they do it with stunning graphics and provocative by-lines. I’m a believer, too.

dreamhomes indeed; nightmares more likely; not sure: is it architectural constipation or architectural diarreah (think that’s how one spells it – not that it really matters) – either way: aesthetix: suggest F-; it’s really strange that there are those amongst us who think it’s architecture – perhaps lousy architecture, but architecture none the less; it’s not architecture; how about glorified shacks? shacks no shanty town would create?
