  Palestine, the divider

  I think the snippet about Mamet being fed up with NPR and calling it "National Palestinian Radio" is revealing. Liberal ideas are forcing him to confront certain issues that he is biased against, and finally fuses are popping in his head.

  In this case, perhaps Palestinians' human rights issues don't sit well with certain prejudiced aspects of his Jewishness.

  not good

  I think the headline is very offensive. Oh, so does the writer? Why then for the sake of GOOD taste is it still up?

  response to  alexandra_m's post Nouvel Ideas

  not so nouvel

  Nouvel has been around for a long time in the world famous architects club. The only reason most American readers won't know about him is not because he is French, but b/c people don't know much about any "famous" contemporary architect except maybe Frank Gehry.

  The pritzker is an american prize, so actually that particular recognition came from America, not Europe.

  Finally, I would not characterize his style as disappearing buildings, or subtlety. Only the Fondation Cartier building is an example of a dematerialized glass building, and a nice one at that! A lot of his 80's works are future-industrial-fetish and border on kitsch!

  Today his work cannot be said to have a special style (not that that is a bad thing).
