bring back restaurants that just say they have fusion cuisine instead of making up a story about a trade route and cultural exchange that (quite famously!) did not exist between Japan and the Mediterranean

restaurants/bars/nightclubs that opened before 1980 and still feel that way should have a vibes-based exemption from smoking bans

akin to Peter Saville’s 1993 cover for New Order’s Republic

at what point does an interchange qualify as a textile from a woven art perspective

Liz roots out the midwest's most distinctive places like a truffle pig for worn naugahyde booths, and in this piece I spoke with her about the things that give restaurants a soul and the shift from places with regional identity to personal identity

though I preferred the single covers from that era

this is entirely too credulous towards the actual parameters of parametricism - it’s an aesthetically driven practice that points to technology as determining the forms while in reality it’s more like rolling dice until they show the outcome you wanted in the first place

real bicentennial 1976 vibe to all these kiosk names

Schumacher himself gives the game away here, extolling the use of AI image generation as a starting point for design solutions, it's all just making an image they think is pretty then getting the program and structure to fit. www.ribaj.com/intelligence...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many candles in my life as I did during Semana Santa in Seville last month - at their peak during the moments when some plazas and streets would shut off their lights while processions passed

For Haterade, I wrote long about restaurant design, regionalism, and identity. Photos are of the Sons of Norway Kringen Lodge in Fargo, ND, which doesn’t need my help. haterade.substack.com/p/where-am-i
