As part of our blog series, we want to give you an inside look at a handful of our favorite articles we read from the past month. We hope that these entries can help you learn, laugh, and get to know us a little better. So, what should you expect to find?
- No architecture-based blog would be complete without articles dedicated to the world of design and construction.
- Articles dedicated to the way things get made.
- Culturally relevant articles that either make you laugh or show you insight into the things we value.
Without further ado, here is our list from February:
1) Modern Art, Improved
Ever feel that a piece of modern art was missing something? Think you could make an improvement or even create something better yourself? Imagine having those feelings and needing to guard that same piece of art day after day.
2) How a Book is Made
A lot goes into creating a book, but have you ever wondered how a physical book gets made? The New York Times takes us behind the scenes from cover to cover.
3) Ever Wonder Why Skyscrapers are the Height They Are?
There has always been a push to design and build the tallest building in the world. As humans, we tend to push the boundaries to the most extreme limits, but have you ever wondered why most skyscrapers are within a specific height range? This article takes you through the skyscraper’s history and explains the physical, economic, and legal limits that help define a skyscraper’s height.
Thank you for reading. We hope you found some of these articles educational or at least entertaining. If you haven’t had the chance yet, please look back at some of our most recent posts. Each month we’re trying to give you a look behind the scenes at our projects, object designs, and process and offer some educational insight that might be useful to you in the future.
