Hello Dezeen mailing list! Thanks to our readers for making February our best month ever for visitors - 1,207,337 in total. We reckon we’re now the second most popular architecture and design website in the world (after Designboom) and still growing fast…

Formosa 1140 in West Hollywood by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects has something in common with Le Corbusier’s Cabanon (above), according to Wehrm. Another reader called Rafael, who claims to live nearby, feels the building is causing road accidents: “I’m terrified by the number of accidents that occur by this mess and do not let my kids and pet chimp out during times of high traffic.” Read the story and comments »
