Links of the moment

Here are some of the links I’ve been looking at today:

• The washington post has a column discussing the trials and tribulations of the new apple store in Georgetown and what this protracted historic design board rejection/approval process means for future developments here and elsewhere.
• Icon Magazine has an interesting article about an exhibition at the Tate Modern of two of my favorite Modern Russian Artists: Rodchenko and Popova. I love their creation of three dimensional space within an abstract medium.
• The Washington Post has an article naming four architecture firms (Morphosis Architects, Richard Meier and Partners, Kieran Timberlake and PEI Cobb Freed and Partners) as having been awarded new embassy building contracts by the State Department. Anyone looking for work near one of these firms office mght stand a good chance of getting employed, especially if you have past government experience.
• Washington Spaces has a post about McInturff Architects wining an award from Spark Modern Fires for a fireplace design using one of their products. Their design has the fireplace surrounded by glass shelves filled with books. The other entries are presented on the site as well. I particularly like the fireplace in the tiled bathroom.
