  4. one of midcentury America’s eccentric savants, a prodigy and polymath

    Michael Kimmelman reviews (here) Bruce Goff: Material Worlds, a recent exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also manages to slide in a review of sorts for the new LACMA by Zumthor.

    “The Chicago show is a revelation and hoot, but you can also get a dose of Goff by visiting the new home for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, when it opens this spring.

    It’s a showstopper on stilts, bestriding Wilshire Boulevard, designed by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. I mention it because Goff designed the pavilion next door. Zumthor’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide a new High Line-level view of the neighbor…It was among the last projects Goff worked on before his death, completed by his colleague Bart Prince in 1988. The architecture shocked Angelenos at the time. It is now embraced as a civic icon. It’s a masterpiece of 20th century Americana. I suspect it will give Zumthor’s behemoth a run for its money.”

    If you want 'fast' → rammed earth definitely, isn’t it.
    If you want 'social approval' → you’ll fight for 30 years
    If you want 'passive temperature regulation from massive walls' → rammed earth might be exactly right." rammedearth.substack.com/p/ram re: #eartharchitecture aka #rammedearth

    + #unc "is something embedded more deeply into black culture, and seeing it stripped of its meaning actually makes me a little sad. If there’s anything insulting about being called...it’s the kind of insult that’s meant to bring people closer together, not reinforce an artificial boundary between generations. It’s a word you use for people who are actively in community with you, not people you are trying to shut out."

  8. “It can be difficult to see the power of poetry in our lives because the fact is, we are bogged down in all the things poetry is meant to resist. To gather what is needed to pull ourselves out of the morass of contemporary life and begin to see what is meant by poetry is a nearly impossible task, especially since, in the so-called age of information, we are drowning in other language systems that are the very opposite of poetry.” bloodhoneylit.com/wander-lines #Poetry #counterpower and more

  9. "The river’s flows at Lees Ferry are on a razor thin margin and could be low enough this year to trigger calls for forced cuts — or lawsuits to prevent them — depending, in part, on river management decisions being made over the next month. Some Lower Basin states seem primed to go to court." coloradosun.com/2026/03/27/col via @coloradosun #WaterintheWest
