A study of the strategic architecture of the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California, designed in 1951 and demolished in 2005. A detailed archival history tracks the reciprocal relation between the unique research culture at RANDÑthe epicenter of strategic military thought during the Cold War and the first truly interdisciplinary research modelÑand its physical architecture, designed (based on a memorandum written by a RAND mathematician) as a redundant matrix of corridors to maximize chance interactions among researchers and promote creative thinking. What lessons does the abstract, analytical process of RAND's design hold for contemporary practice? What does the story of the RAND headquarters tell us about the climate of strategic thought in the postwar period? The book addresses these questions in the conviction that the RAND headquarters hold an important and unrecognized place in the history of architecture in the second half of the 20th century.

Light, comfy, and a brand you can trust with your feet
Size: 3.5 Big Kid, Color: Black/White
My son tears through shoes and somehow they're perpetually untied, no matter what we do. These are great as they don't need to be tied but look laced up, are very light and cushiony, and just look great so they go with everything. Saucony is also a great trusted brand that I've run a few marathons in myself, so I figured, let's try a pair and see how long they last. It's only been a few days but I'm getting good reviews from my son and they're his new go to pair.

Bought the shoe because it was recommended by a podiatrist for young kids and I'm pleased with what seems like good support.

Good fit. Good support. Good for my new runner!
The quality definitely meets our expectations. The price point is pretty good; I can't swallow adult-sized prices for kid-sized shoes. Delivery was early...which my son really appreciated!

Falling apart
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle
I bought these two weeks ago for my daughter to train and use for a mini triathalon she is doing and the sole tread are already coming apart in several areas. Including the toe. Not worth the money
