I have always been interested in architecture, even so far as getting a degree but somehow a career in architecture was not in the cards. Nothing keeps me from appraising architecture wherever I go and making a judgement. This pops up from time to time in my blog posts. From my love for Saairinen, master of mid century American architecture- a man almost forgotten these days to the would-be masters of today like Piano and Calatrava, you find posts with my two cents about their works. Then a bit of nostalgia about the wonderful Design Research stores and their headquarters in Cambridge. Finally an appreciation of billboards, really two apprecations.
