chopped architecture

If you are like me, you find most TV totally useless.

thinking (empty) thoughts

random musings, empty drivel, usual thinking, discoveries, catharsis

I was taught many years ago to consider a conversation as passing a ball back and forth with someone.

can we make a home?

I hope you have a good home or better yet a loving home life. Sadly, many cannot boast of that – either a home or a positive home life. Nevertheless, most of us, who would be reading a blog online, most likely have somewhere to call home and in some respects a place that is somewhat pleasant, or at least keeps out the rain.

Architects seem to thrive in the world of choices.

Others find it paralyzing or at least frustrating the more choices there are.

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.
