civil architectural criticism

I love architecture, I love to talk about architecture and I love to dialogue with others about architecture. Yet, nothing gets me more irritated than people who throw out useless or foolish statements that do not contribute to a conversation or worse are based solely upon their narrow preference.

social contract

Is there social contract in architecture?

how the artist emerges

I am an architect; I make art. Let’s not kid ourselves, many architects do; it’s not just me. Don’t ask where this came from, just roll with it.

draw it up

We know what we want, we just need someone to draw it up.

style…final words

we fail to fail

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas A. Edison

“Success is most often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.” – Coco Chanel

I hate being wrong. Why is it that one of the most powerful teaching devices (if not the most) is shunned or not permitted in architecture?

it’s a big improvement

I may not always be logical, but I am one guilty to point out others’ logical fallacies. It’s a gift.
