Reading
Books, essays, journals and anything else I read that I find interesting.
Books
A book about book making.
You have a right to be forgotten, to walk outside into oblivion. This explores the differences between privacy and secrecy in human relationships, and how social norms around privacy have changed within the modern surveillance–industrial complex.
Six lectures by urbanist Richard Sennett given at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 1981 on how urbanism influences discourse and communities.
"In Water of the Sky, artist Miya Ando offers us a beautifully rich, bilingual visual dictionary for rain. Through a collection of 2,000 Japanese words, their English interpretations, and 100 drawings, Ando describes the breadth and diversity of rain’s many expressions: when it falls, how it falls, and how its observer might be transformed physically or emotionally by its presence."
Journals
I have been playing a new game, Journal Roulette. Once I have exhausted my current reading material I pop into the MIT Press Bookstore and without looking inside any of the journals on the shelf will pick one based on just the cover alone. I'll commit to purchasing and reading its articles within reason.
Some of the recent journals I've read:
- The New England Quarterly
- OASE - a Dutch architecture and design journal.
- Log - Architecture and urbanism.
