This is the story of Differential Expansion. 4 years ago, work started on anish kapoor’s 85 ton bean which is tucked under herzog de meuron’s 56 Leonard st. Last summer, though, the bean ruptured because the exposed side of bean expanded more in the hot sun than

2 months ago, an article in the The New York Times tried to get at why apartment buildings in the U.S. are so large, and so incredible bland. Posited modulation, design review, cheap materials.
