Our friend Jared in London sends along two great links on modern ruins:

Aptly titled, Modern-Ruins.com showcases the photography of Phillip Buehler, who has been documenting 20th century ruins such as Cape Canaveral, Coney Island and ARMAC ("the airplane graveyard") for decades. The 360� QTVR images are stunning.

An old favorite, Lowell Boileau's The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit remains an essential living document of the city. I've spent hours here exploring the city I thought I knew - always finding new bits of information or hidden architectural gems.

Jared also encourages us to check out the work of science fiction author Steve Aylett. The comprehensive world of the Accomplice series is documented here. The artifacts section is rather interesting, with references to Max Ernst and automata masters the Brothers Quay.

And a big welcome to our newest conspirator Marcus, who represents the great state of Missouri and consistently provides some of the wittiest commentary on the ARCHINECT forums. Check out some of his work here. This is a guy who designed an architectural device for having conversations with aliens. Right on.
