an Eames anthology / Book
an Eames anthology is a selection of articles, film scripts, interviews, letters, reports, notes, and speeches by Charles and Ray Eames and edited by Daniel Ostroff. The book explores the "Eames process" of problem solving and their role as educators and communicators of ideas.
Chair design is explored through a transcribed narration of a television show Charles and Ray appeared on and notes prepared by Charles.
Case Study House 8
Charles on knock-offs
Using the words of Charles and Ray was a genius approach by Ostroff. I highly recommend getting this book.

Weekend / Stuff
Robinson Jeffers by William Van Wyck (1938). The first book project by Alvin Lustig. Only 250 were printed.
The Ward Ritchie Press did the printing.
I found these vacation photos of an unknown family who went to the Wayfarers Chapelby Lloyd Wright and to Long Beach. Why I bought them, I have no idea.

Salk / Equinox
Salk Institute for Biological Studies (1962) by Louis Kahn- La Jolla. The plaza was designed in collaboration with Mexican architect Luis Barragan. Kahn invited Barragan to the project after seeing his work at MoMA in New York. Barragan suggested the plaza should consist of a single water feature, free of plant life and dirt. The design also includes a feature where the twice a year equinox sunset lines up perfectly with the channel. Apparently, it's not a secret.
The clouds weren't cooperating, but the sun did peep through for a bit and sure enough, it lined up exactly with the channel.
More on the Salk, here.

Tijuana / Modern
The US / Mexico border gets political. They're watching too.
Mexico / US
Bull ring in Playas de Tijuana. Not a fan, but the structure is cool.
Contemporary architecture in Playas
A lot of great places are popping up in TJ. Bresca is one of them.
Bresca means honey comb. Get it?
You have no idea!
A food pic, really? What's next, some DIY tips and my hot picks for next season? Back to the old stuff.
