ABNORMALITIES

Friday, December 11, 2009

WORLD OF GIVING

Saturday, November 28, 2009

This is ostensibly the season of giving, so it is worth mentioning Jeffrey Inaba’s new book World of Giving, dedicated to exploring this cornerstone of human sociality. An architect and professor, Inaba researched, edited, and wrote the book with C-Lab, an ‘experimental research unit’ he directs, as an extension of their current Donor Hall [...]

GO GREEN

Monday, September 14, 2009

Are you an Internet addict but also want to save the planet? Why not use the ‘green Internet search engine’ Forestle!
