Cool Hunting

www.coolhunting.com is a tantalizing website devoted to the amalgamation of travel, art and architecture. Josh Rubin, the site's founder (and esteemed Ted Talks member) harvests the globe for far-flung inspiration. Daily posts will capture your imagination and trap you in the cognoscenti of the design world.

Ideas Worth Sharing

www.ted.com has replaced the ambient drawl of Yellow Ledbetter types which typically stream through my kitchen. The premise of the website is "Ideas Worth Sharing". I dialed it up and selected Architecture/Landscape Architecture from the search menu as my "theme". With the gracious bandwidth of it's cerebral content, I felt as if I had returned to the crimson halls of college.
Delivered by leaders of the profession, I was connected with a syllabus of lectures to refreshingly audit. I started with Daniel Libeskind's lecture on "17 Words of Architectural Inspiration" and then enjoyed Thomas Heatherwick's chat "Building The Seed Cathedral"(my latest crush).
Fantastic.
