First of all it's official. I'm finally a "candidate" for the masters degree.
Just an interesting visual survey I've started. It's always interesting to see what people are reading/researching. I've been doing an independent study creating a book of research and projects we've done in the last few quarters. Books are interesting. The other night, Jeff Kipnis noted a certain "forgetability" of magazines in that we see the same things over and over and are always drawn back to them (*ahem* Dwell or any men's health or women's interest magazines). But then books have an aura that's entirely different. Here are a few book collections on a few desks around here.

greg lynn seems to to doing well around your studio,, did u guys buy his book when he gave his lecture?
actually we didn't. we all got it on amazon. it's also because we're in the greg lynn studio. gotta know where he's coming from.
I'm way behind in commenting, sorry. You should check out the book "Unpacking My Library: Architects and Their Books" published by Yale. It is full of pictures of renown architect's book shelves. A really interesting read. Your post reminded me of that book.
Dear UCLA (A Center for Ants?) blogger,
Can I have your permission to post (online, in conference proceedings) a presentation I gave to the Art Libraries Society of North America in March that included a couple of your images (of books laying around the studios)? Or do I need to remove your images before I post the presentation? (I'm citing the source, of course!).
Please get in touch at jhenri at library dot ucla dot edu
Thanks!
