Modernist Monday

Images of North Korea | Enjoy this interesting peek into a seldom seen country. Take a look at some of the images here and for a bit more peek at some of the book pages here. The pastel brutalist style of some of the buildings is very unique to North Korea.

Cheers and Happy Monday! 

"The book offers a rare glimpse inside the Hermit Kingdom, Guardian journalist and photographer Oliver Wainwright takes us on an architectural journey behind closed doors in the world’s most secretive country. From the mosaic-lined lobbies of Soviet-era health centers to the candy-colored interiors of brand new theaters, his photographs shine a spotlight on the reclusive regime’s ambition to ‘turn the whole country into a socialist fairyland.’”

Happy Birthday Frank Lloyd Wright

In honor of one of our most celebrated architects we thought it would be worthwhile sharing, once again, one of our favorite posts on the man himself.  Cheers!

1953 Frank Lloyd Wright interview by Mike Wallace | I scoured the internet for something of interest to watch last night. It is not always very fruitful, but this time I found something "fantastic"—at least from my viewpoint. If you've never seen this before I'm happy to share this treasure with you today. His belief in individualism and his views on the lack of intellectualism and "mobocracy" hit home today. I won't say more, but simply encourage you to spend 50 minutes to watch this interview with a true visionary who is, obviously, very comfortable in his own skin. Enjoy the segment here . Cheers!
