In an interview1 by art critic Christopher Knight at John Baldessari’s studio in Santa Monica, the seminal Los Angeles artist had much to say about the state of art education in L.A. in the early 1970s and his efforts at the then-nascent CalArts program. At the time, the dominant pedagogical model in most art academies, as in many architecture schools, was founded on the inviolable relationship between master and disciple within the studio environment. This tradition — mostly established in medieval artisan guilds and professionalized in the 19th-century academy — relied on a few well-worn shibboleths.

A dizzy spell may have caused the death of a New Jersey architect who fell off a midtown skyscraper, officials said.
Bruno Travalja, 52, of Ridgewood, N.J., was wearing a safety harness but it wasn’t tied to anything when he plummeted from a deck on the 47th floor of the skyscraper at 153 W. 53rd St. near 7th Ave. Thursday afternoon, officials said.
He was taking measurements when he plummeted, landing on a second floor ledge at the rear of the building, police said.

It's a fact that spatial design affects psychology. We can design offices to fuel creativity, hospitals to promote healing, and airports to soothe travel-related stress. But what about the little-explored relationship between architecture and the political process? In a new book called Parliament, the Dutch architecture firm XML aims to answer the question. The firm embarked on a research project in 2010 that involved examining floorplans from as many of the 193 United Nations member states as they could — and visiting 15 of them in person.

In full shadow it's a workmanlike brown, the color of shoe leather. In direct sunlight the shade is closer to bronze. Late in the day its western edge, turned toward the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, begins to reflect the setting sun and turns a surprisingly bright gold. The shifting personality of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, designed by a consortium of architecture firms calling itself Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup and set to open Sept. 24 near the center of the Mall, is no fluke or simple trick of light.

One of the most recognizable features of skyscrapers — their thin, steel-and-glass-frames — often becomes an enemy of efficiency. These building's sleek, striking curtain walls result in extra heat gain and excessive heating costs in cooler climates, meaning these modern structures can sometimes be energy hogs. Achieving energy efficiency in a high-rise often means designing to evade the sun, with facades strategically shaped to deflect the sun's rays.
