Quality - One cannot substitute economy for quality because they are synonymous
Quality - One cannot substitute economy for quality because they are synonymous
Quality: Quality is not only a matter of good, but also one of long life. One cannot substitute economy for quality because they are synonymous. If you always pay a bit more than you can afford you will be better off in the long run.”

If this were commissioned today, what would it look like? Would be as strong or enduring?
Old Magazines are great for viewing the landmarks of the past before the landscape grew up around them - rare viewpoints abound.

With beautiful things, it is all about learning to wait, being patient. People today, they don’t want to give it time.

Wonderful interview with Yukio Akamine, very applicable concepts to much more than clothing.

Appreciation
…in the realization of any high standard of artistic expression, more
depends upon the attitude of the public than upon individual
accomplishments. The best way to cultivate a desire for this is to look to
the future and begin with...

Myers Park Neighborhood Guide
Charlotteans today know the Myers Park neighborhood as one of the city's prestige addresses, an area of fine homes, tree-lined streets, and curving drives. Few realize that the neighborhood's importance extends far beyond Charlotte. Myers Park is of statewide significance because it was the home o

Been walking around Myer's Park in Charlotte (on Streetview) and am fascinated with this design by John Nolen (and Earle Sumner Draper) in 1911 (1220 acres thru the 50's). Link is to Queens Road, the main 110' boulevard with a streetcar median (removed). Enjoy http://bit.ly/m2hpAm

A young architect goes on a hunt to find adequate representations of Louis Sullivan's "System of Architectural Ornament" (an elegant 20 plates describing Sullivan's design methodology). He fails. The original book's printing process was atrocious (an opinion shared by Sullivan himself) and the Art Institute of Chicago only offered to send this young architect 600x800 digital images (an atrociously small pixel count to see any detail). This young architect then embarks on a journey that will undoubtedly last months if not years--to reconstruct all 20 plates with his own hand...

"The supply of good architecture is largely dependent upon the demand for it; the taste of an intelligent public is an important factor in the arts in our modern democratic society, for it is from this that the ranks of architects are recruited, and it is for it that they work.
American Architect, March 1915 (editorial)
