oh, one word: bauhaus.
Speaking of the Bauhaus (the art school), has anyone seen the new building recently under construction at The Maryland Institute College Of Art in Baltimore? I'm dying to take a tour of the inside.
The school itself has always claimed that it bases it Foundation program on the Bauhaus from Weimer Germany. The new building has a stairwell that is an exact replica of the famous painting from the Bauhaus of the stairwell. I could clearly see it as it was being built but it's not as easy to find now that they are near completion.
It looks like it will be a great building for studio space with its glass skin. Personally, I don't like the color of the glass at all. It's very dingy looking but maybe it has something to do with optimizing the quality of light within the studio space.
This is a very cool Bauhaus inspired building. Celeste, you especially should go check it out the next time that you and Rhett come up to Baltimore. It's right across the street from the Main building on Mt. Royal Ave..
Just wish that they had all that cool stuff when I was there. Oh well, at least it was affordable then.
