'Je trouve en pleine page du dernier numéro de la revue Citizen K une photographie de Le Corbusier nu. On sait que l'architecte aimait prendre le soleil, sentir sur lui les bises marines mais on sait moins qu'il fut adepte d'une technique picturale dégagée de toute entrave vestimentaire. On sait aussi que les balcons de la Cité Radieuse offrent des garde-corps permettant un effeuillage complet sans risque que la voisine ne puisse voir votre intimité dans ce qu'elle a de plus cru'. via architectures de cartes postales

‘Irving Penn’s Studio,’ Paris 1950

Wishfull thinking. Opening October 25 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents a restaging of the landmark 1975 exhibition "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape". Photographs by Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore, and Henry Wessel, Jr. Not to be missed.

The new Industrial Parks by Lewis Baltz was published as a limited edition book by Leo Castelli in 1974. The project’s title evokes the sterile industrial architecture and uninhabited landscapes of Irvine’s industrial parks to a process of elegant and unsparing minimalism.
