TROPOLISM

Our friends over at The Gutter point us to the Post's Page Six: Brad Pitt has skipped the designer stint and gone straight to developer! Ocean's Thirteen is not an auspicious name for a casino, but who's counting?

Please note your reaction to the above statement about BP's skipping the designer stuff and becoming a developer. Look at it for a while. Breathe Deep. Great. Now, consider that I don't mean that as a perjorative. In fact, I am excited by the fact that someone who has an interest in architecture, and film, would do what most of us architects should do: become the people who cause buildings to appear because they paid for it.

After all, some of my best friends are developers.
