6. Speaking of, did you make it to the screening of Charles and Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter at the White House?

7. The Great Discontent’s interview with Twitter NY design lead Yaron Schoen. (Especially this line: “Design is really about people; the more you understand humans, the better you will be as a designer.”)

8. The Conversation’s case for “an urban design revolution.”

9. The top 6 green buildings at the 2012 London Olympics via Inhabitat.
