8 July

1906 birth of Philip Johnson
2003 death of Ladan and Laleh Bijani

"Thus, each project of Le Corbusier's is ideologically charged while each of Johnson's seems an attack on the very idea of ideology, an essay in style."
--Robert Stern, "The Evolution of Philip Johnson's Glass House, 1947-1948" in Oppositions /10.

Maybe the twin couples are going to publish a new journal on architecture entitled Appositions.

Were ideology and style once Siamese twins?

"You know, these days my architectureal imagination would be nothing without regular visits to architechnophilia. Well, you can hardly expect someone who lives in a Glass House to suffer from architechnophobia."
