David Rockwell, Set design for the 82 Annual Academy Awards, 2010
Alexandra Lange has written a thought-provoking, perhaps, article entitled “Design Blogs: The Vacuum of Enthusiasm” in the always fascinating Design Observer (online) proposing a variety of solutions to the apparent paucity of prose (and pizazz) in the current crop of design blogs. More caustic critiques? Is that the solution? Some of the readers’ comments are quite interesting as well.

We imagine that you are already familiar with the blog BLDGBLOG, and that you think it’s as great as we think it is. If you’re not familiar with it then you really must take a look, as it is really, truly marvelous, especially if you like to read about architecture, design, society and the world. A sharp look on things design.

Have you missed us? We certainly missed you, and your thoughtful, brilliant, and polite, yes, comments and emails. Of course. But now our world tour has come to an end, and we’re back home here in lovely Paris feeling quite refreshed and, well, ready to buckle down and have some fun.
However, before we do we’d like to ask you a question, if we may. What do you think of advertising? More precisely, what do you think of ads in blogs? Yes, of course, you can see where we’re going with this. Nevertheless, we’d like very much to hear from you on the subject, generally, and more specifically, we’d like to know if there are advertisers that you would like to see here, cosily ensconced, and if there are other advertisers that you would definitely NOT like to see here, even uncomfortably ensconced. We can’t promise that we’ll be in a position to please everyone, but we assure you that we will try our very best. And, by the way, if you’d like to have your ad here, let us know; we’d be interested in hearing from you.
