Cool Hunting
Tropolism by Josh Rubin
The world of Cool Hunting expands again: please welcome Tropolism to our little family.
Tropolism explores the city through the eyes of architects. It calls attention to the art of architects, finds urban beauty wherever it may be, and otherwise revels in the pleasures of the dense city. It also is very skeptical about what architects have to say about their buildings. Its task is to inform, enliven, provoke, and elevate the debate about buildings and the city while refraining from gossip.
The site begins in New York, and will expand to other major urban areas.
The editor is Chad Smith, an architect and award-winning designer with his own practice in Manhattan. In addition to Tropolism.com, he has contributed to The Village Voice.

The preservation debate is in full swing! The new National Swimming Center in China caught our eye, as well as an artist-itect collective in Dessau. But what really caught our eye shows up today:...

1. We had some words about an exhibition at MoMA, and why the New York Times will call France but not Spain for interviews. 2. We played with blocks, or, as they are known these days, psycho-social building experiences. 3. We listen in on an interview with SANAA, the architects who designed the new New Museum....
