A Brief History of Avant Garde

As a fan of typography, the work of Herb Lubalin and Avant Garde magazine I wanted to share what I had learned about the colorful past of the magazine’s namesake font. Many of the people associated in the tale are personal heroes of mine, but if you are a bit of a design geek, I think you’ll find it’s quite an amazing story.

Zaha Hadid proposal denied

Here's a perfect example of what i refer to as an 'architecture brand'. Regardless of being a great architect, Zaha might as well put a 'ZH' logo on this construct as it has absolutely no apparent formal relation to context, and it seems the interior configuration also lacks a regard for function: the library's archive and reading room are placed behind a south-facing glass wall (think about that for a minute). Ultimately, no matter how cool the intervention (and it is), architects need to be more responsible in responding to a site and its contents.

This proposal for an extension to the Middle East Centre at St. Antony's College in Oxford has been rejected by CABE and ZH sent back to the proverbial drawing board.
