Weekend of thinking and running around

Hi

Because my homework and the fact that I have had some amazing company this weekend, need to post some ideas for today and more later.

The architecture and design I have reviewed amazing.

I want to go to MIT soon. Eeros Saarinen and the designs on MIT have inspired me (for school and for life).

Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Information from Answers.com

Tomorrow is the trip to Harvard I hope.

Ok off to bed.

Moon Hill Lexington Mass -- TAC Gropius

As I study and research homes considered Modernist, I wonder if I could live in one of these homes. Lately I have wanted to rent the house in Wellfleet,

http://www.ccmht.org/walling.html

It would cost me the price of a large TV but I really would like the experience. There is a wonderful webpage that I found on, The Architect's Collaborative,group,

http://www.lexingtonjanovitz.com/modern.

http://modernmass.blogspot.com/

The homes are located in Lexington Mass.

There has been so many times that I wanted to take my lunch looking for this area. If you follow the link that I have provide on Moon Hill you will see that the Real Estate person who created the page is a fan and collected a very nice grouping of info. There is also a link for Modernist Massachusetts I like and seems associated somehow.

I have just linked to a very cool link for a building that has been saved in Gettysburg Virginia.

This is a nice building and the plans are amazing!

This includes many of the building plans. I have learned so much from the designers before us.

Modernist information on the web -- Collecting

Lately I have been collecting links from reading and then losing them or not remembering, being at another computer and many other reasons. This is frustrating so posting them to Facebook has helped. When on Facebook I end up sharing them with people I dont think I want seeing them.

This place, Interests of the day, will be the new place to keep some of the thoughts that have been collecting. This week later can refer to them. Years ago, I would have kept a journal but life and times have changes. Give this a try maybe something that can help me keep writing . . . again. Writing here seems private :P.

I am feeling better about it. Below is an important link on, Moon Hill Lexington. I think that I will go there today.

Nice collection of information. In particular I am looking for a quote by Walter Gropius about collaborating.

Next Monday Lecture Harvard GSD

During the search this weekend for architecture and looking at historical images of moderist homes, I checked back to the Cape Cod Modern House Trust blog, it had been updated! It was amazing I have been checking on this webpage for months using it as a link to the many homes being reviewed, they had an update. It was amazing. The architect that has been leading the program and finished the Hugel/Gips House was speaking at the very school that Walter Gropius had been the director. I could not only go to the campus of Harvard School of Design but I would understand the topic. Next monday I will be on campus with my camera and attend a lecture on the Modernists homes on Cape Cod. Its been a great weekend for Designers . . . Me.

Interests of yesterday -- Provincetown and Truro

Last night I was reading about architecture instead of doing my 3D homework. As I searched the world to find our more and more information on the works of great modernists in the United States past and present. A link that was from the Modern Cape Cod.com site http://www.moderncapecod.com/LOOKING1.html and I found. Life Magazines pictures. I searched and searched for information on the buildings that I have been studying. The pictures were wonderful but I couldnt exactly find the ones that I imagined from the 1940s and 1950s with Eros Saarinan and others I am studying. I found this wonderful pic.

O the reason this is so important I will be staying on the strip of land shown known as Shore Roads "Beach Point". Oceanside with family and friends. Sipping wine, enjoying arts (including a talk by John Johansen July 27th at the PAAM. I am dreaming of it every day. Last night I actually did dream of it.

This is a nice area for me to put down some of my research on the Arts of my choosing.

The next topic Id like to share is the Guggenhiem, NYC, Museums, Modernists, New England.

Today I am joining, Cape Cod Modern House Trust to help with the next project, the Hatch House.http://www.ccmht.org/houseimages/hallhatch1.jpg
