Notes from the Open Sewer
Fall 1998

night town at day time On Thursday, October 1st, 1998 the first meeting of the Cleveland Open Sewer discussion group took place. Seven-thirty on a brisk fall evening, and let me tell you the atmosphere at Night Town in Cleveland Heights was just perfect! Many forces were at work that evening- with the full moon only a week away you can be sure there was some wild discussion! A bottle of wine, three scotch-n-sodas and two martinis later the evening was concluded. Thanks to Mark Linder for his valued input in written form... starting with his article a discussion on the nature of architectural theory and its integration in practice evolved. For those of you who missed the meeting, the ballast for the discussion was Linder's article, "Architectural Theory is No Discipline," published in a 1992 volume titled Strategies in Architectural Thinking (MIT Press).
