Milton Glaser (1929-2020)
“Sketched on the back of an envelope with red crayon during a taxi ride, it was printed in black letters in a chubby typeface, with a cherry-red heart standing in for the word “love.” Almost immediately, the logo became an instantly recognized symbol of New York City, as recognizable as the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty.” nyti.ms/2VngKVC

Christo, Fearless Maker of Massive Public Artworks, Has Died at 84
Christo, who with his partner Jeanne-Claude used sculpture as a means to dramatically shift people’s understanding of iconic structures and sites, has died at 84. According to a press release put out by the artist’s office, Christo died on May 31 of natural causes.
“Christo lived his life to the fullest, not only dreaming up what seemed impossible but realizing it,” the artist’s office said in a statement. “Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artwork brought people together in shared experiences across the globe, and their work lives on in our hearts and memories.”
Nos vemos camarada.
Michael Sorkin
He was always ahead.
Faster than all of us; his generosity, infinite.
Sometimes he would stop just to help us ride along with him; his wisdom, his provocations and his wit as companions.
He explained things to us, told us stories, wrote elegant paragraphs to us.
So beautiful it almost felt hurtful to leave them buried in an inbox, depriving a vaster audience of his enlightening words.
I can say with deep pride and enormous sadness that I have witnessed his daily miracles.
I can see him, sitting in front of his laptop, sipping his unsweetened green tea, opera music playing in the background, his fingers writing pure sharp beauty.
Each paragraph was deep, smart, fun and full of life.
Each one of them stems from a powerful desire for an equitable society, for a kind urbanity, for a better, more beautiful world.
His voice was cracked, his words went fast.
Maybe too fast for me to comprehend the full message of your dreams, Michael. And as usual, we did not have enough time.
Now, more than ever, I will go for that ride once more and try to follow those beautiful dreams of yours, wherever they may be.
Nos vemos camarada.

El siempre estaba por delante.
Más rápido que todos nosotros; su generosidad, infinita.
A veces se detenía solo para que viajemos juntos; su sabiduría, sus provocaciones y su ingenio como compañeros.
Nos explicó cosas, nos contó historias, nos escribió elegantes párrafos . Tan hermoso que casi duele dejarlos enterrados en una bandeja de entrada, privando a un público más vasto de sus palabras esclarecedoras.
Puedo decir con profundo orgullo y enorme tristeza que he sido testigo de sus milagros diarios. Puedo verlo, sentado frente a su computadora portátil, bebiendo su té verde sin azúcar, música de opera sonando en el fondo, sus dedos escribiendo pura belleza.
Cada párrafo era profundo, inteligente, divertido y lleno de vida. Cada uno de ellos proviene de un poderoso deseo de una sociedad equitativa, de una urbanidad amable, de un mundo mejor y más bello.
Su voz se quebró, sus palabras se fueron rápido.
Quizás demasiado rápido para comprender el mensaje completo de tus sueños, Michael.
Y como siempre, no tuvimos suficiente tiempo. Ahora, más que nunca, volveré a viajar e intentaré seguir esos hermosos sueños tuyos, donde sea que estén.
Nos vemos camarada.

Vittorio Gregotti
Vittorio Gregotti, the Italian urban planner, writer, and architect behind the Barcelona Olympic Stadium died today, Sunday, March 15, of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. He had developed pneumonia and passed aged 92 away in the San Giuseppe hospital in Milan, where his wife Marina Mazza is also being treated.
Gregotti was born in Novara, east of Milan, in 1927. After graduating from the Politecnico di Milano in 1952 he worked for Italian architecture magazine Casabella, first as an editor from 1953-1955, then as editor-in-chief until 1963. Later he founded Gregotti Associati International in 1974, going on to design the Belém Cultural Center in Lisbon alongside architect Manuel Salgado, the Grand Theater of Provence in France, the Arcimboldi Opera Theater in Milan, and numerous stadia including the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa. As an urban planner, his studio worked on the Bicocca district of Milan and Pujiang New Town in Shanghai, China. Outside the world of design, Gregotti was a major cultural figure in the Italian Communist Party.
Some of his most notable work, however, was a curator. In 1975 he curated Regarding the Stucky Mill (A proposito del Mulino Stucky) which explored options for abandoned granary mills on Venice’s Giudecca, being hosted in the Magazzini del Sale alle Zattere. The exhibition focused on land art and architecture and signaled the first steps to be taken by La Biennale di Venezia towards an exhibition on architecture, being a precursor for the Venice Architecture Biennal, established in 1980.
“I don’t really know why [they asked an architecture to curate the Biennale] – it was very strange,” Gregotti told AN’seditor-in-chief William Menking in 2010. “I agreed to do it only if we also had a small first exhibition of architecture. That was the condition because if not, well, I wasn’t going to do it. The biennale had never had an architecture section, so this would be the first one.”

Architects, he wrote, “must produce what is needed of us. This is not a weakness in our discipline, but a source of strength.”
