The house which Viennese architect created in Palm Beach for Marjorie Post, one of the most powerful women in 1920s America, was named Mar-a-Lago. Adopted by President Nixon as the Winter White House, it is now owned by Donald Trump, which turned the mansion and its grounds into a club. Urban sought to create a distinctive American style, based on local materials and forms, and similarly to other grand houses in the area, the Spanish colonists, the first to settle in Florida, served as his source of inspiration.

Norman Bel Geddes: Super Star Designer

Norman Bel Geddes was the star designer of the Depression era. He believed that Art Deco could not reflect the American experience and sought for a new language that would carry an expression of American identity. He designed extraordinary range of everyday objects that came to shape the daily lives of the millions in the 30s, from kitchen appliances, IBM typewriters and furniture to the window displays at Fifth Avenue shop, and stage setting in film and in the theater. I will guide a tour of the upcoming retrospective of Bel Geddes as a part of my fall program of Design and Decorative Arts in NYC. for information and registration, visit:

We watched the documentary Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel last night, which demonstrates, among other things, that taste is a matter of zeitgeist. Vreeland was not just the legendary and most dynamic fashion editor of the past century (she was the fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar for twenty five years and then the editor in chief of Vogue),

E 1027

Built in 1926 by Eileen Gray, E1027 is a small white villa on top of a cliff in the French Riviera village of Cap Martin. This iconic home invokes a special allure for all lovers of modern design. Not because of its breathtaking Bay of Monaco views, and not because of the murals that architect and next-door neighbor Le Corbusier painted there (and was famously photographed while doing so), but because it is one of the earliest masterpieces of modernist domestic architecture.

The Starchitect

Enjoyed reading my friend and colleague Curtis Wayne’s article on the popularity of the term and notion of the starchitect and on its impact of the profession of architecture. Architects, he suggests become privileged starchitects when they  have been broken through, or been broken through by critics and writers, or because they contribute to the cultural arena beyond the strictly business architectural communication channels. And they are never young.

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveria has recently installed Baitogogo at the Palais de Tokyo, which evokes structural beams. Active in São Paulo, Oliveria's work has emphasized on experiments with surfaces and he has made his name internationally with the used of  weathered strips of tapumes to evoke the stroke of a paintbrush or the folds of human flesh.

Founder of Studio Molen, he is represented by the London-based Carpenters Workshop Gallery, one of handful galleries which exclusively focuses on contemporary design.
