The Sesquipedalist: 80 years of AD in 1100 words
http://sesquipedalist.blogspot.com/2010/08/80-years-of-ad-in-1100-words.html
On the sociology of the architectural profession and the mediation of its products. 80 years of AD in 1100 words. As promised (and promptly forgotten), here's my potted history of 80 years of AD as published in the AJ a couple of months ago. Charles Jencks had shown glimpses of his forthcoming book, The Language of Post-Modern Architecture. I enjoyed the summary. Just to add a piece of oral history to your work, AD was quite popular in Turkey in the 1990s and probably before. I remember that many...I lov...

The Sesquipedalist: Concrete Quarterly
http://sesquipedalist.blogspot.com/2010/07/concrete-quarterly.html
On the sociology of the architectural profession and the mediation of its products. My dad would proudly recount the story of the construction of the nearby Harworth Colliery. Pit head - the longest continuous pour of concrete ever at the time - every time we passed it on the A1 back to Sheffield, and a little further south on the same road, he'd point out Sam Scorer's hyperbolic paraboloid concrete shell roof.

But that's about the sum of it.). Some certainly are, but not al...
