Ansel Adams and Japanese American Internment Camps

I was surprised to find this collection of photos by Ansel Adams taken of the  Manzanar War Relocation Center in California, archived by the Library of Congress.

Building Twins

Orhan Ayyüce has a good article up on Archinect on twin buildings. His main point:

As you can see[...], a developer can build two buildings with twin concept. He can save a lot of cash from the architectural billing and contract time, from the material purchases and double discounts, and, from the ease of proven installation and erection, all of which translate into large sums of monetary gain whose importance in American urbanism is paramount.

Next time you drive by a twin concept building, take a look at them and say, “Thanks Orhan, I see what you mean.”
