		However, by centering attention on the aesthetic value of those apparently simple and innocent huts, rather than on the complex socio-environmental phenomena that shape this building, the exhibition unintentionally reaffirmed a secular stereotype, and officially coined the architectural version of the myth of the noble savage.
		Although Rudofsky's patronizing view has been challenged since the exhibition, forty years later this architectural preconception is still strong in the mind of many.
		Rudofsky has already been contested -I prefer to use that term over "attacked"- by, for example, Paul Oliver, the much-celebrated editor of the Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World.

		The Austrian-born Rudofsky, 75, has always been at his acerbic best when challenging modern ideas of what is civilized in fields such as clothing, street design, architecture, even staircases.
		Rudofsky has titled his show, and also his new Anchor Press/Doubleday book, Now I Lay Me Down to Eat, which turns out to be a reference to the Last Supper.
		Rudofsky, in fact, builds a whole disquisition on forks into his exhibition.

	Cabinet Magazine Online - The Beavers and the Bees
		Following the trail of footnotes in The Prodigious Builders leads to the discovery of a fascinating alternate discourse on animal architecture, one that absorbed philosophers and scientists from the natural theologian William Paley to Charles Darwin and William James.
		In showcasing examples of animal and primitive architecture, Rudofsky was inclined "to blame progress for about every evil that has befallen this planet" and found it "a comforting thought that, everything considered, we have not much progressed in those disciplines that proclaim most emphatically humanity's humaneness: poetry, music, and the arts."
		While Rudofsky, citing Darwin, would find much to admire about animals' primal instincts, Morgan's work on beavers suggests that the fascination of animal architecture lay in the brutes' eminent powers of reason— a progressive intelligence that was nothing if not modern.

	Faculty Profile for Felicity D. Scott
		Her forthcoming book, Architecture or Techno-Utopia (under contract with MIT Press), addresses experimental and radical practices from the postwar period which attempted to articulate ongoing ethico-political dimensions for architectural practice as industrial technology ceded to its postindustrial or informatic counterpart.
		She is also currently working on a second book manuscript, arising out of her doctoral dissertation, which examines the work of émigré architect Bernard Rudofsky, situating his contributions to the end-games of modernism as symptomatic responses to the historical transformations brought about by the global expansion of capitalism and advances in communication technologies.

	163 Outdoor Room
		It is hardly too much to say that every building needs an outdoor room attached to it, between it and the garden; and more, that many of the special places in a garden - sunny places, terraces, gazebos - need to be made as outdoor rooms, as well.
		The inspiration for this pattern comes from Bernard Rudofsky's chapter, "The Conditioned Outdoor Room," in Behind the Picture Window(New York: Oxford Press, 1955).
		Rudofsky gives many other examples in the book we have cited.

		What I find so poignant about this is that I was able to buy the book online, in unmarred and "very good" condition, for the grand total of $1.00.
		Subtitled "A Primer For Americans," Streets was Rudofsky's desperate attempt to impart something of the delight he took from the portici, ramblas and impasses of Europe (and in the Arabian suq) to an audience he obviously thought too car-addicted and philistinated to benefit from anything less than a frontal assault on their sensibilities.
		Rudofsky understands this to be a hard sell to an audience inured to the worst that mid-century America had to offer; in places, his entirely justifiable stance is on the verge of being undercut by the bile in his voice - a overly-healthy admixture of what we would now call "snark."

	144 Bathing Room

	4.07: Street Cred (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Perhaps the most radical thinker here is Bernard Rudofsky, a dabbler in fashion as well as an architect profoundly influenced by traditional Japanese arts.
		Radical doesn't mean humorless: Rudofsky's Museum of Modern Art show of a half century ago, Are Clothes Modern?, included a symmetrical woman's shoe, designed for a perfectly symmetrical foot.
		This disc gave me a strong sense of just how playfully imaginative these Austrian architects became when their fantasies were kick started by hefty infusions of American money and technology.
