Studying

I’ve MIA as I’m studying studying studying for finals and working on various projects (like my garden)! Posts to come on Thursday.

In the meantime, a taste of what I’m cramming into my brain, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, built in the 1920s. He considered it his “machine for living.” I find the whole concept of the house as machine or the chair as machine creepy — I like to believe in soul — the importance of comfort and the reality that a house can be “alive” vs. “machine”. I think Corbu and I would have gotten into it had we ever shared a meal together. Still, there is something special about this house, even in its machine-ness.
