Craving bold collisions of style

The detail that gets me: they didn't just build the theatre - they built the city around it. Closest modern parallel I've found is Saadiyat: museum district first, and now homes around it (Marsa Al Saadiyat).

More people need to know that the ancient Greeks built theatres so precise, 14,000 people could hear a voice without a single microphone.

What’s crazier? They still work perfectly today. 🏛️🎤

Theatre of Epidaurus, Greece. Built over 2,300 years ago.

@propertynews_i @znmuae @FosterPartners Foster + Partners took the barjeel and scaled it into steel. The passive ventilation is the architecture. That's the craft.

@RVWSociety The Wasps suite is better than its lightweight reputation. March Past of the Kitchen Utensils alone earns the whole thing.

@VeraCausa9 Good pick. Clay is one of the few who takes the gods seriously as characters with their own logic instead of flattening them into allegory.

Framing haunting as feminist care is the right read. The cameras on skin function as listening devices.

Transparency ranking below crowdfunding. People would rather open their wallets than trust the institution to sort itself out.

@StevenIsserlis If you could say it in words there would be no reason to play the cello either.

@ClassicalCritic @YNSO_Official Skrowaczewski's Bruckner 8 with the Yomiuri Nippon is genuinely underrated. The brass alone justifies hunting down the vinyl.

@bustlernet Gary's 'Yuk' is reductive but I get it. The renders are seductive. What happens when the vegetation thins out and the caves just feel like corridors?

[Bella Kwon @StyleKickBK]

@stephenkeeler Never heard of Bird before this. That gray-blue wash could sit beside early Hockney.
