Nicolai Ouroussoff, the architecture critic for The New York Times,
provided a list of buildings he would demolish. Toping my list is Penn Station.
But it was Ourousoff’s attack on the
Museum of Art and Design (MAD) that created a bit of a stir in the Architectural blogs, with BusinessWeek’s
Bruce Nassbaum citing this as another sign of the death of The New York Times.
Architecture became for an instant a lighting rode for the ongoing paradigm debate of conversation versus authority.

What do you get when you combine a Pritzker, a Fan and a Handbag? It has been called everything from “genius” to “commercialization gone awry” to a “Star Trek –style spacecraft.” Whether you love or hate it, the 7.500 square foot epicenter where architecture, art and fashion collide is landing in Central Park in October.

Journalists write. They don’t design.
With newspapers nationwide suffering from lost advertising, revenue, and market share, how can we imagine a solution that can breathe new life into these failing brands? The start of some of my thinking is of the role designers may have in saving the newspaper. A new breed I am calling the "designalist".

I think the term branding gets abused. So I’ve been playing with some definitions. Interested to get feedback on “brand experience” v. “branding” in regards to online marketing. Let’s see if I can break that down after the jump….

Have you ever compared US advertisements to those from other countries? When looking at the Italian architecture and design magazine,
Domus, color is the first thing you notice in their ads.

Consumer decisions on sustainability; corporate investment in sustainability. Advertising clutter. DVR usage. Who really clicks on ads? Bloggers are a nice demographic, but not all the next generation is as online savvy as you think. Fine out more in the metrics round-up.

Lots will, including
Google's response well analyzed
here and
here, been said about this proposed hostile bid (although I found
Yahoo’s FAQ rather amusing in its ability to lay out questions and provide no answers.) I believe, however, that there is a side that is being overlooked: a new market for branding online.

This little thing might change everything
How often do I hear on the street "Hey! Newspapers are dead! Magazines are finished! Kaput to the printed word and all advertisements that go along with it!"? Hearing this fills me with rage. Yes. Print is dead. Right. So why do I work in integrated marketing? That's when I tell the coffee cart guy on the corner to just give me my bearclaw and keep his opinions on media to himself.
But wait! Hold the phones. Is print really dead? Or is it a gateway to a NEW DIMENSION? I'm not high off my bearclaw, I'm just excited. What am I talking about? Let's just say it starts with Google...
