I love using Markus Brunetti's orthographic photos in teaching architectural history and talking about them

Ephemera

Has @govpritzker.illinois.gov seen Edward Peck’s plan for Soldier Field?

Did you know? The House of Tomorrow (1933 world's fair in Chicago) is being restored in northern Indiana and is nearly finished? I'll be speaking about it there next weekend.

New Raphael dropped today! the grad students next door are gonna have to jam with me (best channel on Youtube)

@sevensixfive.bsky.social they are practically begging you to apply 😆

Really great podcast about architect Eleanor Raymond by @langealexandra.bsky.social (wherein I'm a minor character)

Shared without comment 😐

I was "Reviewer 2" today. Sorry. It was necessary. Honestly.

As much as I hate Adobe, why would I want a web browser to be my default pdf viewer? And why do they keep asking me?

Planning for an upcoming Chicago trip & have a few extra hours one day. Thinking about the Obama Center. But the Loop (including Nighthawks) is so compelling, even for the dozenth time.

Love this. (B&B near Siena Italy)

I should have spent time this summer swtiching to Linux & open-source tools, and getting off Microsoft, Google, Adobe, etc. Can't do it now with the semester on deck.

My AI statement for an architectural design studio

Strong indications & chatter that IIT will go out of business in the next few years. What will happen to the Mies campus?

I wrote a bit about Tom Hines, architectural historian, UCLA professor, my mentor, who died last week: solarhousehistory.com/blog/2026/8/...

Channeling my inner @richardmortimer.bsky.social in my less sophisticated way

I'm not a Christopher Nolan guy, but clearly we should just stop all this and recall how great Memento and Insomnia were.

Sad to learn that Tom Hines passed away over the weekend (1936-2026). What a great career in teaching and writing architectural history (photo incomplete). He was my PhD advisor and very supportive to me.

They seem to be experimenting with more wild landscaping on my campus, and I like it. #uwyo

Just deleted a post about the Ospedale degli Innocenti—bad info—I was slightly confused.

Would be fun to be in Spain tonight!

What. a. beauty. bringatrailer.com/listing/1985...

I'm not saying you *should* consider this one of the great albums of all-time, but you *could*

For @sorenspicknall.bsky.social

After 11 years my title is changing this week from 'Department Head and Professor' to 'Professor'. It's my choice and I consider it a promotion ☺︎ Will be researching/writing more & open to collaborating!

I get the excitement of the World Cup, but honestly soccer is a ridiculous sport

For $850M Obama could have built about 40 neighborhood libraries in Chicago with an exhibit in each

Given that there are 4 or 5 major AI tools, it's odd that they seem to be mirroring each other rather than trying to be different. One of them should try to be: facts only, no hallucinations, willing to say "I don't know", no affirming tendencies...

ESPN Gamecast is a fun way to follow

If nothing else, I learned a few things about Curaçao today

Hyper-Haussmann in #Paris (near Jules Joffrin)

I wonder what will happen to the Gehry house next. Would be great for LA if it were open to the public.

Enjoyed your book review in JSAH, and imagining your dad's bookshelf, @sevensixfive.bsky.social

Yesterday, here, a commencement speaker talked positively about the inevitable future-with-AI, and was booed by many.
