Architecture is hard to understand. Noble minds and smart people have advanced its debate in spite of their abilities. The observations, notices, and insights recorded here are to help the rest of us understand what's going on. Sometimes its a lot of hype, other times its pretty inspiring.

Architectural Abstractions
Photographer Todd Eberle has a show currently at SFMoMA that presents images of architectural details cropped out of context. Mr. Eberle's images of grids and textures reveal a larger theme of abstraction and rationalization in the modernist buildings that he photographed like The Lever House, Unity Temple, and the Seagram Building. The 13-image exhibition might be small, but sounds rewarding to those whom have a chance to visit before the March 7th closing date. Otherwise, here's a San Francisco Chronicle article, with images, describing the work.
