unbuilt works, on-going works, built works
revisited -- new competitions, pre-qualifications, competition results,
exhibitions, reviews -- delicious tidbits,
appalling statistics, useless scholarship

"This is glass at its glassiest."
(Robert Campbell, bg_04.10.10)
- frontispiece
"The building is still nameless. ... (Any donors out there?)."
(Robert Campbell, bg_04.10.10)
- starched shirt
"The facade along Huntington is cluttered with canopies and fins that seem needless and have a retro, 1950s look."
(Robert Campbell, bg_04.10.10)
- bell tower
"Building H is also a milestone in the career of Rawn, who first became known as the hero of a book called 'House' by Tracy Kidder."

[Scottish Parliament House, Holyrood, Scotland, UK]
- self-governance
"The design's future was thrown into doubt when its Spanish architect, Enric Miralles, died of a brain tumor in 2000. The project's costs spiraled from $72 million to 10 times that amount, prompting national hand-wringing and public ridicule."
(Nicolai Ouroussoff, nyt_04.10.09)
- spectacular triumph
"No, despite moments of remarkable lyricism, this design is not Miralles's epic masterwork. As a composition, it is disjointed and rambling; much of its detailing is overly fussy."
(Nicolai Ouroussoff, nyt_04.10.09)

[Santiago de Compostela, Spain]
- verdict
"'It's going great; the first building opens in May. It's beautiful. We have a new contract to supervise the project, with two people in Spain working on the colours and the furniture. Anything else is scuttlebutt. You must have been talking to Danny Libeskind too much."
(Peter Eisenman, in Deyan Sudjic, obs_04.12.19)
