| | | i have a subscription to "Domus", i don't know if you get it over there, it's italian, but it is written in english too. Anyway... it's not the best, i think. i have a book which i love, although it's not about architecture, but it sure helps for any kind of art, i think: "Concerning the spiritual in art", by W. Kandinsky

| | | Of the books that I'm currently reading for my urban planning class I'm really enjoying The Geography of Nowhere by James Howard Kunstler. Heres a quote to kind of give an idea of what he's all about: "Eighty percent of everything ever built in America has been built in the last fifty years, and most of it is depressing, brutal, ugly, unhealthy, and spiritually degrading- the jive-plastic commuter tract home wastelands, the Potemkin village shopping plazas with their vast parking lagoons, the Lego block hotel complexes, the "gourmet mansardic" junk-food joints, the Orwellian office "parks" featuring buildings sheathed in the same reflective glass as the sunglasses worn by chain-gang guards, the particle-board garden apartments rising up in every meadow and cornfield, the freeway loops around every big and little city with their clusters of discount merchandise marts, the whole destructive, wasteful, toxic, agoraphobia-inducing spectacle that politicians proudly call "growth"."

| | | http://www.spacing.ca/ Spacing is a magazine about Toronto's public spaces and urban landscape. We cover any and every issue that concerns life in the city's public realm... Yea, I know it says "Toronto", but most of the content is general urban issues that aren't Toronto specific. Topics incluse graffiti/public art, UE, public space issues, preservation, etc...The website is well worth a look, as is their blog. I haven't seen the actual magazine in the flesh, but I just ordered a 6 issue subscription so I'll let you know what it's like. For the record, I found this via a link published in issue 3 of 5100, which is pretty good too.

| | | How could i forget to write these titles, God only knows... they are at the top of my thesis: by Marc Auge: Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity http://www.amazon....0?%5Fencoding=UTF8 In the Metrohttp://www.amazon....0?%5Fencoding=UTF8 and there are other ones that i suppose have still not been translated, being that i can't find them: the most important in italian is " Rovine e macerie" (which means literally "ruins and Rubble(?) ". Without mentioning Guy Debord and psychogeography. I didn't find the english version either of books from Franco La Cecla ("local mind" and "getting lost", literally) Francesco Careri " Walkscapes, walking has an aesthetic practice" http://www.amazon....0?%5Fencoding=UTF8 and to relax, why not the book where Stalker was taken from: Roadside PicnicArkady Strugatsky + Boris Strugatsky http://dannyreview.../h/Worlds_End.html

| these i've read. Boy, i'm way far from finishing your list! Frampton i had to study for my exam in contemporary architecture. Nice book. I can't stand Gregotti, the things he does are horrible, i think: for example the university of Bicocca in Milan: he forgot to put green and trees in the big plaza. Aldo Rossi... mmm... i'm not crazy about those architects that have to put their logo all over (see zaha adid or frank o. gery)
