the venice edition
venice seems to be in the news a lot today.first, the nytimes' 36 hours column covers janelle brown's weekend in venice. she does a fairly good job of covering the shops and restaurants of abbot kinney, including the new beechwood, reviewed in the latimes' food section this week.
yesterday, the latimes also ran a feature on architect Lorcan O'herlihy, whose vertical house in venice has received tons of critical praise since he built it. it also summarizes some of the dust-up over the housing complex he's been hired to build next to the schindler house, which was pretty much the definition of tempest in a teapot.
"Lorcan O’Herlihy’s three-story Venice residence unites art and architecture in a harmony of opposites. The windows are staggered in a deceptively off-handed way. Views to the world outside, yes, but framed artwork too."
