Real Debate about a really great house. Worth a visit for sure.

Depending on who you ask, a 5,000-square-foot home on New York's Petra Island is either “designed” or “inspired” by the famed American architect. Who's right? (And does it even matter?)

A coalition of national and local nonprofit organizations has filed a “friend of the court” (amicus) brief supporting the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s demolition of the White House East Wing and construction of a new ballroom.

AIA joined because the project threatens the architectural and cultural integrity of one of the nation's most significant historic sites. Learn more: https://sbrew.link/lSme0tWr

Over the past decade, a new generation of retail brands have branched out from their Elizabeth Street origins and multiplied across the city. Of course, you won’t find them on mall-brand shopping corridors like Manhattan’s 34th Street or Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Instead, these chains have congregated in stylish shopping strips like Bleecker Street in the West Village and Cobble Hill’s Bergen Street — corridors that have a distinctly “neighborhood” feel and attract younger shoppers with plenty of cash and a taste for (mildly) adventurous fashion.

It’s a positive trend for the city, says Jonathan Bowles, executive director at the Center for an Urban Future, who has been tracking the city’s chains for 18 years. “I think New Yorkers are after interesting retail and for a while, it seemed the phrase national chain meant something boring and generic — the same retail mix they have in Cleveland,” says Bowles.

It also coincides with a noticeable exodus of the megachains. In recent years, some of the most prominent national brands, such as T-Mobile, Starbucks and GNC, shed dozens if not hundreds of locations within the city. But the mini-chains are making up for the closings. The city now has 19 Warby Parkers, for example, along with 19 Aesops and seven Buck Masons.

As a Trinidadian artist, I am deeply inspired by the natural beauty of landscapes and seascapes, yet I am equally captivated by the timeless allure of architecture. Among its many wonders, the Guggenheim Museum stands out as a masterpiece of whimsical design and distinctive innovation—a true testament to Frank Lloyd Wright’s visionary creativity.

Through the use of natural tones, I sought to capture the warmth and inviting presence of this iconic structure, reflecting both its artistic brilliance and enduring charm.- Latoya Abby-Gail Tidd ()
