Back in my Art History days, whenever I tried to pass on a little architectural history to my colleagues, the name Walter Gropius elicited many giggles. Too bad I didn't know about Dick Busch back then... I was and still am a fan of Toyo Ito, but my current fav is Zumthor. He seems to have the right combination of warmth, sensitivity and passion for materials.
damn...last time i've hear the word somnabulist/somnambulance used was in this misfits lyrics...
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
"whoa oh oh oh whoa oh whoa oh stumble in somnambulance so pre-dawn corpses come to life armies of the dead surviving armies of the hungry ones only-ones, lonely-ones ripped up like shredded-wheat only-ones, lonely-ones be a sort of human picnic this ain't no love-in this ain't no happening this ain't no feeling in my arm whoa whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh you think you're a zombie, you think it's a scene from some monster magazine well, open your eyes too late this ain't no fantasy, boy this ain't no love-in this ain't no happening this ain't no feeling in my arm whoa whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"
the tulane school of architecture shirt from 1990 or so had a woodcut of a sleepy eye on the back and the word 'somnambulist'. it's beatiful. i still wear it.

this is my favorite architect:
Ask me if I'm surprised that you posted a picture of yourself, SBD. Go ahead, ask me.
ether, you didn't catch the early works of Dick Busch Architects in El Croquis?
Some names are too good to be made up.
I'd say Vito Acconci.
Is SBD is one of those funny people with the smile?
LAR lately.
ok, Wonder, are you surprised?
As surprised as I might be if an albino squirrel came up and stole my Subway sandwich in the middle of lunch.
DAMNIT! THEY'RE REAL!
