@architext14 all "Them Guys", meaning big M modernists, are guilty of the same sins.

@architext14 At the risk of sounding like a Mies apologist:
- LOF held patents, but IGU's were not commercially available, especially at these sizes, until much later.
- similarly , air conditioning (with dehumidification) also trailed this project by the better part of a decade or more.

@architext14 @mcmansionhell Do you have the larger image showing what the leader is labeled as? I'm not doubting you, but I'm fascinated as to what the drawing intends to show. Thanks!

@wdavidmarx Will you / can you comment on the evolution of cover art? Why did the Loopwheeler sweatshirt and Alden loafers get nixed?

@takiooshua Me too!

@patcarino Could be a nickel sulfide inclusion that was not exercised out during heat soak testing ( if it was done at all) or...some genius decided to hang on the towel bar. Either way, one benefit of tempering glass is that it breaks into "dice" that are significantly less dangerous.

“Once architects see themselves as workers and not as temporarily embarrassed technocrats or firm owners, they begin to realize that these struggles—socialist struggles—involve them as well.”
