dwell on denver [+adjaye]

just ran across this today–in the march 2007 issue of dwell, sarah rich contributed a short blurb about the last [mid] western city before the great divide. denver art museum’s curator lewis sharp acts as the armchair tour guide, offering his own perception as well as some public assumptions of the transforming city.
one year later in the march 2008 issue, bldgblog author geoff manaugh contributes a conversation with mcart architect david adjaye, and speaks about doing more public buildings, and the relatively low impact LEED has had on the construction industry in the US:
“LEED certification is lower standard than what I would want to do in a building, to be honest. It is the way a building should already be. We’re on track to get a Gold certification [mcart denver]-which is the first for a contemporary art museum in this country [sorry david, i think the GRAM beat you]. i find that hilarious, considering the amount of museums being built here [europe]…
…the problem is that there is no body or guild which seems to be educating the industry. it’s a cost-driven, lowest common denominator culture-which gives you efficiency in terms of capitalism, but it doesn’t give you evolution. And we have to evolve the notion of construction. Really, builders should be bringing these things to architects…”
on a side note-the new format for dwell magazine has been altered and the size has been slimmed down considerably. it reads more like a collection of short blog posts, which we suppose is a sign of the times, but is it as successful in print format?
the slimmer profile tends to mean fewer ads and more focus on stories, so it’s a good thing right?
more “tv” with fewer commercials is always welcome.

The Honeywood File was written by Harry Creswell as the saga of an “adventure in building” and is the purported series of letters on file, to and from the young architect James Spinlove, concerning the construction of a fictional house for Sir Leslie and Lady Brash. It is claimed to be a “comic classic”, although the humour is a little opaque to today’s audience. Nevertheless, it is interesting to compare and contrast the similarities and difference between the profession then and now - perfect for any Part 3 student with a historical bent.
The Honeywood File began serialisation in the Architects’ Journal in March 1929 and there was a sequel, The Honeywood Settlement in 1931.
I thought it would be cool to post those letters to a blog in real time. Unfortunately, my Sesquipedalist blogger account wouldn’t let me post back to 1924, so I started a new wordpress blog, “The Honeywood File” in order to re-construct The Honeywood Files in blog form. Occasionally, Creswell comments on the letters and so these commentaries will be posted as comments to the posts.
The first few letters are there now, should you be into architectural costume comedy drama.
