Bronze Plate | American Folk Museum

NYC, 2010. American Folk Art Museum, Williams + Tsien, 2001. Some inspirational words on their website. Check out the "of interest" section, Objects and Slowness. Their process and their inspiration is a reminder of the way things can be when you set limits. Focus on detail and make it a broad brush in their own way. A rare collective.

Seagram

NYC, 2010. Mies Van Der Rohe, 1958. I always find myself sitting at the NW corner of the plaza. From just above the sidewalk an overview of the pedestrians is key. In the periphery I can see the Seagram and Lever House across the street. The way the buildings are set back from each other just makes sense. The fountain is glass-like and calm.
