Architecture

[close] A group to discuss my forthcoming novel, Speaking to No. 4 (New Europe Books, Nov. 29). The book is available for pre-order, and bookstores can already get it in early November, but shipping for individuals will start at the end of November. Where is Alma? A future husband—No. 4—is desperately seeking his fiancée, who has disappeared. To locate her, he is interviewing her three former husbands, her sister, and ex sister-in-law. Could she be hiding in a French monastery? A Japanese shukubo (temple lodging)? Or maybe she is the victim of a belief in a Balkan creation myth? From America to France and Eastern Europe to Japan, this quest for a woman who has disappeared is both a psychological mystery and a meditation on our notions of space and architectural design. As husband No. 3, the Architect, says to husband-to-be No. 4, “Think of Japanese space as a novel in which the main character is absent.”

[close] This group is being established to encourage community interaction with the Germantown Warhawk Bands and the community surrounding it in Germantown, Richfield and beyond, and to have cultural awareness of traveling to Spain prior to our trip. To foster a sense of community and adventure for the upcoming Germantown Warhawk Bands trip to Madrid, Spain in Dec 2025/Jan 2026 to participate in the city's Cabalgata de Reyes parade on 01/05/2026, this list will initially feature books related to Spain's culture, music, architecture, food , art and history, that may be of interest to those making the trip and their surrounding community. We encourage the use of the Germantown Community Library as a source for books, and encourage people to explore the Library's Monarch Catalog as a means to access materials throughout the library system.

[close] Questo gruppo é pensato per architett* che sono curiosi nel scoprire nuove dimensioni del fare architettura oggi, attraverso contaminazioni, letture e confronti su temi che non riguardano direttamente l'architettura per come ci è stata presentata tradizionalmente.
