Architecture for Humanity is auctioning off some beautiful drawings by some big names. These are two of my favourites thus far. Check the rest out on Ebay.

TODAY
Jonathan Safran Foer - Tree of Codes.
Other things I've found today: this great greek website, with a particularly well written and well linked article on Iain Borden; this article on the Art of Writing at (ironically?) the Financial Times, which still has that terrible peachy colour scheme of dentist's waiting rooms.
THE PRESENT BODY
Untitled (Cast Iron) 2001
Three thoughtful readings on Whiteread:
1. Uros Cvoro's 'The Present body, the Absent body, and the Formless' provides a terribly lucid and necessary translation of Whiteread's work in Derridian terms. While Whiteread is typically referenced to Derrida, I have found most links shallow and the critique lacking. (We are typically given a logic somewhat along the lines of Derrida = trace = presence + absence = Whiteread).
2. Damon Hyldreth's 'The Uncanny' discusses Whiteread in Freudian terms based on the double.
3. Doreen Massey's 'Space-time and the Politics of Location' discusses how 'House' functions in social terms.
