david byrne on johnson’s glass house

excellent tip from barriga de um arquitecto:

David Byrne´s description of his visit to the Phillip Johnson´s Glass House in his blog (remember that Byrne studied architecture),

the head of the talking heads comes up with many interesting points. One in particular I want to highlight: that to live in that house without the added pavilions is only possible to a monk!

I often find that the best of modernism was precisely about that: a simpler life with fewer drawers and closets, larger windows to see and be seen.

It is very worth reading the entire post here.
