| LIVE BRAVE A Tribute To Laura Middleton [2018] By JEF7REY HILDNER LIVE BRAVE: A Tribute to Laura Middleton features the memorial tribute that I wrote for Laura—my steadfast friend for 35 years and my partner for the last 3 1/2 years of her life—on April 1, 2018, Easter Sunday. I titled the tribute "Live Brave" and started writing at the stroke of midnight. I wrote till the sun came up. I first posted "Live Brave" on the Facebook page "Celebration of Laura Middleton," which one of Laura's high school friends and I created to honor Laura's wish that I provide a way for family and friends to share their memories, grief, and love. To more fully and enduringly honor Laura's human life and immortal spirit, I present "Live Brave" between the covers of a book. The book, which includes additional commentary and photos, also serves as a threshold to another tribute to Laura that I hope to create—a building: an architectural monument. I've given it a name. LIVE BRAVE | The Middleton Memorial. LAURA DAWN MIDDLETON: November 27, 1963 — November 29, 2017

GARCHES 1234
Remembering the Mathematics of the Ideal Villa: An Essay on Le Corbusier's 1927 Villa de Monzie/Stein
[2005]
By JEF7REY HILDNER
In 1927, the great Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier completed a house in the Paris suburb of Garches. No structure of the early modernist era has gained more renown. In 1947, British scholar Colin Rowe’s essay “The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa” brought Garches to the foreground—and Garches has stayed there ever since. GARCHES 1234 picks up where Rowe left off and throws bold light on Le Corbusier’s assertion that at Garches, more than any of his other projects, “proportion ruled absolutely there, as absolute mistress.”
ARCHITECT JEF7REY HILDNER published an early version of this essay in the refereed Journal of Architectural Education (February 1999). Here the essay appears in its final and fully illustrated form.

MISFITZ BECAUSE
What Doesn't Belong—and Why? Mind-Teasers!

What Doesn't Belong—and Why? Mind-Teasers!
[2011]
By ELIOT PLUM
What doesn’t fit and why? Nationals, Blackhawks, Rays, Astros. Not so tough. ANSWER? Blackhawks, because the other teams play Major League Baseball, but the Chicago Blackhawks play in the National Hockey League. OK, try this one: cucumber, tomato, radish, avocado. A little harder, right? ANSWER? Radish, because the others are botanical fruits (they have seeds) that we treat as culinary vegetables, but a seedless radish is a root vegetable. But most of the mind- puzzlers in this fun book don’t test your knowledge of special-area facts or trivia—your “vertical thinking.” Nope. Most of the puzzles in this book test what Edward de Bono calls “lateral thinking”: your ability to think creatively—to leap outside the box. Take this example: poker, chess, skate, score.
