New website

There's a new website just launched that links to my various projects. Among them is Common Place, which I began last year as a small magazine, and which can now either be downloaded as such or read online. Common Place includes a blog, so you can subscribe if you want. The entries will announce successive issues, which are likely to appear at a leisurely pace, since I can barely keep up with Writing & Design. In time, I hope to add an archive of Design Book Review issues - I have the whole set. In the meantime, Common Place will include some "greatest hits" from that journal. Issue no. 3 has an interview with the Italian historian Manfredo Tafuri, conducted by DBR editor Richard Ingersoll. When Tafuri died, Herbert Muschamp alluded to the interview in his obituary in the NYT. The topic of the interview is criticism. It's well worth reading. Tafuri felt that architects should do architecture, not write. (If you don't feel like linking, the website is www.j2parman.com; and Common Place is http://complace.j2parman.com)
