"Where the first Alien intruded into an industrial machine, here it prowled a system already built as a trap...While Alien³ revealed the fragility of disciplinary systems, AVP offered the opposite model—an environment predesigned for the alien, celebrating rather than resisting it...In the juxtaposition of the three main environments of Alien: Earth—Maginot, Prodigy City, and, above all, Neverland—the xenomorph assumes a profoundly different role" https://www.domusweb.it/en/news/2025/09/19/alien-design-nostromo.html re: #xenomorphs and more

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.
#architecture #BruceGoff #LACMA #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.”

"In Potawatomi ways of thinking, we uphold humility. Edbesendowen is the word that we give for it...Like, dang, aren’t we lucky to be surrounded by these genius bats and incredible fireflies?...often had this fantasy that we should have Fox News, by which I mean news about foxes. What if we had storytelling mechanisms that said it is important that you know about the well-being of wildlife in your neighborhood?" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/30/magazine/robin-wall-kimmerer-interview.html re: #IndigenousLandscapes #AllMyRelations et al.

"what’s going to happen in 3 million years...That’s not important. But what happens tomorrow is not important either. What’s important is what happens in the first generation after 2050...That first generation after 2050 is going to determine whether or not technological humanity reemerges from an eclipse, or whether Homo sapiens becomes just another marginal primate species." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-collapse-is-coming-will-humanity-adapt/ re: a not #postapocalyptic but #postcollapse future

re: the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Riola di Vergato
Giovanni Comoglio wrote about Alvar Aalto’s only building in Italy.
“It is an architecture rooted in its site but far from mimetic: its forms, the copper of the curved roof, the timber covering the outdoor transitional spaces — all express a pervasive genius loci, reinforced by the sandstone cladding quarried at nearby Montovolo, almost on site.“

“researchers say lot size mandates are unusually large even along the Front Range…While property owners have the right to build a detached single-family home almost anywhere, duplexes are only allowed by right on 33% of residential land…In the vast majority of Colorado — 68% of all residentially zoned land — multifamily projects are completely prohibited.” https://coloradosun.com/2025/07/01/national-zoning-atlas-study-colorado-land-use-apartments-townhomes-lot-sizes-parking/ via @coloradosun re: #missingmiddle #NationalZoningAtlas et al.

#ICYMI "It’s not that I’m saying that we shouldn’t cover cities with forest; it’s just that we could be more conscious of, what do we mean when we say we want to bring some values associated with forests into cities? This could be spiritual values; this could be real estate values, in some cases; this could be aesthetic values" https://designobserver.com/head-in-the-boughs-designed-forests-author-dan-handel-on-the-interspecies-influences-that-shape-our-thickety-relationship-with-nature/ re: #forestthinking #greenarchitecture etc.

re: Compost
“There’s a eucharistic mystery to the biochemical transformations that follow. Things fall apart. They decompose and recompose. Thermophilic microbes foment anarchy in the pile…I make my own compost so that I can convince myself that even when the world seems socially and ecologically broken there are still mechanisms for recovery: it shows that change is possible. Composting is a simple habit of composition or gathering together that integrates past fragments into a future whole“
