Arquitecturas Ausentes del siglo XX
Absent Architecture of the 20th Century
La exposición “Arquitecturas Ausentes del siglo XX”, concebida como homenaje a la arquitectura del siglo XX, está producida por el Ministerio de Fomento de España. En ella podemos encontrar, por un lado, 24 proyectos arquitectónicos del siglo XX en maquetas reales y virtuales, considerados grandes exponentes de la arquitectura internacional, que han desaparecido o que nunca fueron construidos;
y, por otro, edificios que se conservan actualmente, aunque con importantes alteraciones en su estructura y fisonomía arquitectónicas.

Interview with Riley Johndonnell, pt. 2
There are big talkers and there are big doers. Riley Johndonnell is the latter. Don’t let the rosy cheeks, electrifying smile, and fanciful fashion fool you. In the decade since we at Base first met them at Surface, we’ve witnessed Johndonnell (former creative director, with his then-partner, publisher Richard Klein) develop their pivotal magazine along with many other Surface initiatives, including the renowned Avant Guardian showcase of emerging talent in American photography, … more

Billboard Bliss
This post has been submitted by Steve Rogenstein, Director of Base’s New York office, after a recent trip to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles. The land of cars. The land of traffic. The land of the billboard. Billboards are ubiquitous, oftentimes lining both sides of a boulevard. Ads for movies. Ads for television shows. Ads for gas depots. Ads for amusement parks. Ads for concerts. Ads for banks. Even ads for bimbo starlets. Each bombards you with visuals, with information, with messages, urgent urgings to buy, watch, visit, listen to, fill up, spend, spend, spend.
