With Your Coffee

Warm days in Montreal, where this is never-ending architectural eye candy.

Happy weekend! It’s been a nice week here in Vermont and Montreal with a few days of warmer temperatures and (some) blooming flowers, giving us reminders of the beautiful warm months ahead. No matter what the season, one of my favorite things to do is sip a cup of coffee and read a good article or blog post, or discuss one with a friend. Here are a few items I’ve found recently; maybe you’ll like them too.

• Fascinating TED talk about the future of architecture by Marc Kushner.

• Giant concrete arrows across the United States? Sounds like a road trip! 

• Dead malls are all over the news. But what about the birth of those malls? 

• Preservationists, consider trees essential to historic significance and quality of life.

• Definitely follow Raina on Instagram. She’s the bomb. 

• Power transmission lines are the latest threat to historic resources.

I hope your Easter weekend is perfect.  What are you reading? Let me know if you’d like to see this feature again. Coffee cheers!
