Some days just start right. In my inbox this morning: an email from one of my professional associations with announcements of several jobs. Including: CUNY

You icon expresses it perfectly. What next? Are they going to have a job for me in London too?

Hey, so I got a new New Yorker yesterday and they have a profile of the architect who designed the amazing looking new apartment tower in Malmo (Turning Torso, I think it's called). Have you seen it? It looks insane and wonderful in pictures.
Ah yes, the Malmö folly. I live about 15-20 mins. from the building. On foot. So yes, I've seen it alright. ;-) It looks nice, but not very practical in a windy city CLOSE to the waterfront (as in 1-200 metres or so)... and the costs are sky-rocketing. (Dad's an architect, but on other projects) My town has less than 300,000 inhabitants, and very many of them are unemployed workers living on my tax money. Hee. You should come visit and see it for yourself. ;-)
I thought the building was luxury apartments (all already sold)- ie not publically funded.
I'm a huge fan of fanciful architecture - my department at MIT was housed in a Gehry building. Wildly impractical, hugely expensive, problem prone, etc, but utterly glorious and striking.

Oh, I like fanciful architecture too, but sometimes you just have to think about practical matters. ;-)

Someone does, no question. But I'm quite delighted to just sit back and enjoy.
