Lordly lordly. (browser).

Architect's site of the month is Richard Meier's www.richardmeier.com. The home page welcomes you with a portrait shot of the great man behind a balsa model of, if I'm not mistaken, the LA art museum. Below there is a message explaining that the site can't provide project drawings or photos. What architectural site does? There follows a list of books on Meier and advice to snailmail job applications and thanks for 'your enthusiastic remarks and inquiries'. It's all a bit lordly and off-putting: the maestro assailed by hordes of admirers demanding complete sets of production drawings and pix. On beyond the home page is a biography, a select list of recent projects and some old favourites. There aren't many buildings on show but they are well organized. You click on the image of, for example, the 1973 Douglas house, and you get a couple of good photos and a descriptive, if overly florid, text. The relatively recent Camden Medical Centre, Hong Kong appears in model form -- enough to whet your appetite. There is also a link to details about the website itself though the link to the designers' website produces File Not Found. Amusingly, in view of the above thanks for enthusiastic etc., clicking the email link produces a 'The page cannot be found', suggesting an infrequently tended site.
