Amid the imposing libraries and brick halls at the Harvard Law School (HLS), one building stands apart. Littered with beer cans and stolen Kong signs, Lincoln’s Inn—the former home of a now defunct social group—was one of the only places on campus where students could escape the Bar at a bar. But since HL Central—an upstart networking group founded in 1999—merged with Lincoln’s Inn Society on March 20, the character of the building is in for a renovation...
...should it not? After the fleeting euphoria of Housing Day, freshmen will soon realize just how incomprehensible it is to cultivate a contrived “spirit” for a collection of structures—of red brick, if they are fortunate—that will only minimally impact their college life. Products of a completely randomized lottery, Harvard upperclassmen have little incentive to embrace the House into which they had been so haphazardly placed...
...ones set aside for elevators. stairways, pipes, wiring and ventilation, could be housed apart from the served spaces, the offices, factory floors, auditoriums or galleries, in separately articulated volumes. By that means you could divide a single building into an ensemble of varying forms. So Kahn put slender brick stairway towers up the sides of his 1961 Richards Medical Research Building in Philadelphia, where from some angles they give the illusion of free-standing sentinels beside the glass-and-brick towers that hold the laboratories. At Rogers'Lloyd headquarters those externalized stairways reappear, this time wrapped in coiling steel...
...population relying on cured and salted foods in order to survive the long winters. Indeed, food preservation defined the national cooking style, and Valle was brought aboard by Pingvinen's owners to resurrect some of the techniques learned from her childhood on a local farm. With its exposed brick walls and vintage furnishings, Pingvinen is an appropriately domestic setting for Valle's homemade classics. Think hearty, comforting dishes like salted-lamb stew, or salted dried lamb ribs, washed down with glasses of Hansa, the local brew. On Thursdays, crowds pack the place for Valle's raspeball-potato-and-flour balls...
...camps hold from 10 to 300 militants and are usually hidden deep in the forest, according to local residents. They have simple structures, low concrete-and-brick buildings with high walls. Some have underground bunkers for protection in case of attack. Outsiders easily mistake them for traditional village housing. "We know they exist," says the U.S. military official in Afghanistan. "But it's like finding a needle in a haystack." A Pakistani intelligence official says there are training camps in the region and that Pakistan is doing everything it can to find them and destroy them...
