Trust you to find a title ~ "....Jonathan Hale's book, The Old Way of Seeing -- And How to Get It Back. It's supposed to be about how the proportions and aesthetics of architecture got trashed over the past century. Sounds interesting..." That sounds awfully interesting ~ shoot I may have to go get it ~ especially because of the "And How to Get It Back" part. I hope he means the Stuff, and not just the Seeing. I think he meant the "getting back Stuff part" as well... I'll be able to tell you in a few days when the book arrives. If you haven't read Bernard Rudofsky's old Streets For People, ya gotta. It's the greatest. He is one funny guy. And man, he knows his stuff and chronicles the hell out of it. It's fifteen times the book of Wolfe's, and better written by orders. It began as an exhibit at MOMA. I put in a request so it's on its way too... Looks like I may be doing a little recreational reading over the summer... which is why I built the sleeping bench for the summer room I suppose...(-:
