Mr Glasses
Together with Kitty, Hard Hat and Sean, Mister Glasses defends the values of Modernist Architecture against the onslaughts of wealthy patrons. After weathering a storm of commissions, Mister Glasses reaffirms his architectural philosophy. Look out for a cameo from old 102 friends John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn.
Mister Glasses must summon the work of his former mentor in order to aid a lovesick high schooler. Can an architect build a bridge between two hearts? Mister Glasses helps a lovelorn student using a miniature erection.
Shot by a rival architect, Mister Glasses recounts a childhood trauma
While recuperating from a gun shot injury, Mister Glasses tells what he remembers before the arrival of a teutonic adversary. Taken for granted and tired of Mister Glasses’ riddles, Kitty decides to leave the firm. She eventually returns to discover her position has changed.
A puzzling episode, especially for lovers of zen koans.

Frustrated over a seemingly impossible commission, Sean seeks inspiration in drink and sexual congress. Mister Glasses continues to study its supporting cast, and this time Hard Hat takes the spotlight in his inimitably* laconic fashion.

The Third Tower
This documentary delves into the final mystery of 9/11: a third tower at the World Trade Centre, which along with the Twin Towers, also collapsed that day.
Architecture & Fluctuations
Would be an interesting time to re-think the politics of architecture with todays fluctuations in the economy. Do politicians, educators, contractors and architects have the capacity to form new set of rules for making architecture? Are there political will in Norway for such changes? Does Joe the plumber really care? We'll say it like Obama did. We can change. Article discussing this issue of change here.
