things architecturalized

Brian, I like what you say about,"things architecturalized, architecture
without architecture, such as construction sites, for buildings or not, as a
way of understanding how the process of building and taking apart works. one
example
here in Minneapolis is that the parkway system is under construction, and
there are orange ribbons of about 2 foot high fencing running along the
creek/crik, for miles, christo-like. else, other events that could be
architectural, in the sense of materials, organization, and whatnot." Almost
two weeks ago I visited and photographed Louis Kahn's Bryn Mawr Dormitory,
which I didn't know was currently being renovated. There was scaffolding
around most of the building, and in some places the exterior slate panelling
was removed. Rather than being upset that "good" pictures could now not be
taken, I took lots of "new" construction shots -- recording architecture as
it really exists. Inside the dorm was much as I remember it (my last time
there was 1989), but the huge clerstory windows do need a real washing.
Since I was there the day before Halloween  there were various Halloween
decorations in the main stair hall, like fake spider webs in the large
concrete cut-outs. Kinda went with the scaffolding outside.
