Pruned: Bloggers with Large Breasts, Three Eyes, Deformed Ears and Four Hands Standing in a Landscape

• (Or “A Female Figure with Large Breasts, Three Eyes, Deformed Ears and Four Hands Standing in a Landscape,” from Giovanni Battista de’ Cavalieri’s Monsters from all parts of the ancient and modern world, 1585. Source.) It’s been a while since we posted a list of recently discovered blogs. Despite the lamentations of my colleagues about the demise of both the quality and quantity of blogs on the built environment, for every one that goes dimmer with each passing week without a post, there’s a handful that crops up, most of which are worth keeping tabs on.

  Of course, these newer blogs aren’t going to be any less ephemeral. In fact, those started by thesis students and studios will most likely expire with the end of term, but at least a record of their investigations exists for anyone to use for whatever purpose…

  Here, meanwhile, is the list. The bloggers responsible for these blogs may or may not be as described above, but they all possess fertile minds and fecund imagination, are consummate observers, have individualized but keen insights into important issues of the day, and are voracious collectors of net flotsam and jetsam.
