Incidentally, one of the greatest collections dwarf conifers in the horticultural trade were introduced by Sidney Waxman, a professor at UConn who used to drive around New England shooting witches brooms off trees with a .22 rifle.

I was flipping through this book the other day, and while it’s awesome, it also felt in a weird way like a missed opportunity—so for no reason at all here’s a (probably long) thread on plant morphology:

Something I’ve been feeling more and more is that the version of the architectural profession so often bemoaned by academia and high design practitioners (architect as managerial consultant) is much closer to the historic norm…
The AIA was founded around one simple goal: to ensure that America’s most important civic buildings were designed by men who had travelled to Italy and not, for the love of god, by anyone born there.
The AIA wanted to reify a particular model of architecture based on the École de Beaux-arts and a few Ivy League schools.
This included not only style but practice: they wanted architecture to be a gentlemanly way of making a living, like law or medicine and more respectable than engineering.

For 125 years, the preservation of the White House has functioned as an agreement between the influential and the powerful, with no accountability.
When Donald Trump demolished the East Wing, he showed once again how unconstrained the Presidency really is.

White House Architecture Was an Honor System. Trump Noticed.

not to platnerpost but: I am convinced that the really moveable swing vote in the united states is not "centrists" but people with a constellation of more radical, shifting, and often kind of incoherent anti-establishment sentiments...

landscape architecture is cooler than architecture because it’s like what if we came up with the idea of architecture but everyone could still kind of tell it was made up

a weird thing I noticed is that every map of the emerald necklace is oriented with north to the right which kind of undercuts the metaphor of a chain hanging on the “neck” of the peninsula with franklin park as the center stone
