For a while I started flirting with the idea of buying more of these rare design books to make money because I was so familiar with their prices from always checking Amazon, but then out of nowhere they'll either pop up at lower prices or there will be new prints which made it too unpredictable to turn into a money maker. So I don't bother with it. I was trying to get this Diller and Scofidio book a couple years ago and it was going for $700-800. It was the book. Now it's under $200.

Good for Queens, but it looks awkward right now. It'll be interesting to see the design evolve.

Couple of neat construction photos from this symphony hall in Hamburg.

Construction photos are often so nice, but if this is still the final deal it's going to bad....

I often find under construction photos to be more interesting than the final product, and these are pretty awesome. Thx for posting.
