I am an infrequent reader of Dwell that enjoys maybe one layout from every issue I see. I love modern design but there is a mind numbing sameness to everything that makes me want to poke out my eyes and the overwhelming sense of douchebaggery is too much for me to stomach. Oh how I mourn the loss of Metropolitan Home.....

Thanks for posting these; I got a good laugh out of them on FB. I hope my own place doesn't look quite so ... studied.

Someone described the tract of new houses in New Orleans' 9th Ward that Brad Pitt is backing as a "farm growing houses for Dwell Magazine".
