What We’re Reading on the Web

As usual, we’ve read the Internet cover-to-cover and rounded up some of the most interesting reads out there for your perusal. Enjoy!

Y’all. It is hot outside. And while the rest of the world may be gearing up for Fall and dreaming of pumpkin spice lattes (too soon, Starbucks) we’re still inside the air conditioning and dreaming of pools. That’s where this first link comes in – a slideshow of celebrity pools that are totally dream and drool worthy.

Speaking of heat: as hospitals continue to grow and add to renovate their facilities, CEOs are thinking more and more about efficiency – especially as it pertain to keeping those facilities cool.

We’ll stay in Hollywood for just one more link to bring you sketched blue prints of famous television show characters’ apartments and homes. So fun!

This piece in the New York Times about strategic architecture, defined by the author as “projects that combine the forces of community activism and historic preservation with government muscle, encourage future development through eye-catching design, and link to the parks, plazas, bike paths and libraries that give neighborhoods a center,” is a great look at the evolution of urban design.
