We just received the lastest edition of MARK Magazine, one of our favorite publications. There are some absolutely arresting projects and articles in this issue. A personal favorite is a piece on Jean-Francois Rauzier’s art work. Rauzier builds unique worlds out of thousands of photographs. (If you are not familiar with his work visit website, no seriously go.) On a more practical note this issue has a piece on the advantages of smart phones and why and how they can help architects increase their workflow or procrastinate in style. If you want to know what Bjarke Ingels’ reads there is an article on that too, pretty interesting. Among his favorites is Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red Mars and he is currently reading Matt Ridley’s The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves; I love knowing what architects are reading for some reason, what are you, our readers, reading? As always MARK’s project selection is great; some we have and others we don’t. Those we do have are shown in greater depth or from a different angle.

I found this title fairly amusing. It seems absurd that architects should be frightened of color as if it is a genuine threat force in the world. Color might work in some situations and not others, but it seems silly that using color is considered a courageous act. The title reflects the absurdity of architectural discussion surrounding color. Perhaps it is time to have a more honest conversation about the subject matter. 028 Tato / Osaka 030 Giancarlo Mazzanti
