Then I took Ron to Ryerss Mansion and Museum in Burholme Park (near where my
Mom lives). I've 'rediscovered' this place last December. It's one of those
places you pass all the time, but never bother to look inside of. It's my
new favorite place, and I think one of Ron's now too. I describe it as
"'Venturi Shops' 100 years ago" because the VSBA 1995 exhibit Venturi Shops
unwittingly reenacts exactly what Ryerss Mansion and Museum is, namely an
exhibition of things bought during excursions of India and the Far East
(albeit 100 years ago). Because Ryerss is actually a museum of someone's
shopping, there is an interesting Koolhaasian reenactment manifested here as
well. Additionally, I tell Ron my new typological interest is houses that
morph into museums, of which Ryerss Mansion is a prime example of as well.

Now I get it. The whole WTC design event so far is more than anything a
museum of lobbies(?).
In the [virtual] future, there will be a series of online exhibits at
www.museumpeace.com beginning with:
Museum Collecting Point One: Monument Hysterique.
Ms. Curious:
"So what do you do?"
Mr. Nimiety:
"I collect museums."

First, I said, "I'd hate to see the virtual merely become a reflection of
the real." This means I'd hate to see architects/designers/theorists neglect
an investigation of the inherent qualities of the virtual/cyber realm, where
they can find virtual/cyber's own "natural" order. For example, one huge
difference between architecture in the real world and architecture in
cyberspace is that in cyberspace actual buildings are redundant, indeed a
real auction house that does what eBay does couldn't even be built. Another
difference between real architecture and cyber architecture is that one goes
to real architecture whereas cyber architecture comes to you. It may simply
be that "real" architects have to begin also thinking about what it means to
design architectures that go to people.
