By now I think you've already drilled further into the previous post, and found
Alain de Botton's
whole collection of books
. If not, but you've maybe enjoyed
Status Anxiety
, know that another show, >
the Perfect Home < is not to be missed. Although I find it difficult to agree he's not biased in the last part of the show, I loved it. The second part made me think about the possibility of one to get a doctorate thesis into applying true neuroscience in classifying the notions of beauty in architecture, thus cutting the Gordian knot once and for all.
(philosophers tried, and much is to be reused from them, but definitely not yet quite cut it)
In an attempt to mingle the pleasure of writing on this blog with the more practical advance of my game design, if you are interested in the new post probably entitled the Procedural Man, while waiting for it... have you seen
Fritz Lang's masterpieces? I started with >
Metropolis 
< and was amazed, continued with
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse
and again I have been mesmerized. For Metropolis,
this version
should be the further restored, available only from Nov 16 2010. In regards to other works of mister Lang, I haven't mentioned them because I haven't yet had the pleasure, but the next weekend is bound to the original "M".
In order to mingle the black and white with the architectural theme, have a shot at >
The Fountainhead 
< . If you are not lost, then scoop further into >
For The New Intellectual
< as an apriori or aposteriori view of Ayn Rand's views, so ahead of those times, unfortunately even of these as we can learn from the current crisis' causes and effects.
