Ayn Rand’s irony?
I just figure it out. Howard’s speech at his trial isn’t about architecture. He doesn’t mentioned. He could have explained to the jury why he blow it away, describing the changes others have made on his work. But no, he didn’t do that, he defended his idea verbaly.

Aalto, Netsch and Rand.
Aalto said in his telegram of 1958; “I think however the enemy number one today is modern formalism–non-traditional–where inhuman elements are dominating. True architecture–the real thing–is only where man stands in centre.” Listening to the client, and thinking about the building users were important to Aalto, not much to Roark, and nor to Rand.

New Salad: Dovstoyesky, MBA y el General Fuller
Si Dovstoyesky hiciera un MBA y al concluir se encontrara con la revisión histórica de la segunda guerra mundial escrita por el General Fuller este le diría: Como alguien que nunca trabajo para nadie, puede trabajar para alguien? Probablemente Dovstoyesky, recite a manera algún párrafo de “The Idiot” (El idiota) como respuesta. Sucede que el [...]
