Navigating the blogosphere I found plenty of views and impressions on recent architectural projects. So, here you have some more on Seattle's Public Library and Chicago's Millennium Park.
Millennium Park:
jeff-phillips.com some photographs of "the bean"
nocommercialpotential.net Under the Bean
from Cyn City, an excited description of the bean
gapersblock.com, A Pretty good photo essay about the whole park, with photos from several contributors.
Seattle Public Library:
contactsheet.org, Some thoughts and a photogallery of the opening day.
blog.glennf.com, over one hundred personal snappies of the building.
keith pleas blog, this is a pretty amusing rant by a "software architect", actually some of his views seem very sensible. Unfortunately some of the pictures are dead.
thestranger.com and an article on the "Killer Library"
And to finish this post, an ebay jewel found in The Daily Ablution weblog, this is about the Princess Diana Memorial:
"The eBay item that I originally linked to has been removed. Pity. However, aficionados of Diana memorial water can bid on this item until tomorrow.
As of this writing, 15 bids have been placed, the highest being £4.41.
As the item will be removed tomorrow, I am reproducing its description, verbatim, for posterity:
You are bidding for 1 bottle of water (500ml) filled up from the memorial fountain in hyde park that was opened on tuesday 6th july by the Queen. I got 3 bottles of water which was my drinking water bottles and filled them after i had finished them, After costs i will be giving 50% of profit to charity, So if you can't get to the fountain i can send you part of it"
