Our professor wanted to expose us to the Preservation side of architecture. Arlington, Texas has a number of historical sites scattered about. Of course, one must keep in mind that "historic" in the DFW Metroplex means it's older than about 50 year…

I only recently found out that Julius Shulman died at 98 on July 15th, 2009. If you have not had the chance to do so, please read his obituary. He was to architectural photography what Annie Leibovitz is to people portraits, or what Ansel Adams is…

Cool, thank you very much! It sounds very similar to the "rammed earth" technique that's becoming increasingly popular here in America. In fact, your grandmother's house sounds a lot like the tire house I wrote about. They basically filled tires wit…

But the buildings look so clean, and precise. And with the ridges along the top. How did your group manage to accomplish this? Did you use a pattern? Was glue or tape involved. How did you attach it to the base? Were the buildings pre-made, or cut a…

Vandana, if I may ask, our architectural class recently discussed the Wadi Hadramawt, and someone posed the question "if the skyscrapers are made with mud, why don't they wash away when it rains?" At the very least, it seems rainfall would case sign…

Did you actually assemble this model? If so, what did you make the buildings out of? It's very sleek! You did a fantastic job.

From concept to implementation, to re-implementation, 7 cubes, Golden Scale to one another, realized in physical 3D form. Documenting mistakes, misconceptions, and admitting I'd have to start over after completing about 90% of the project was only…

In the latest blog entry, we compare and contrast great architecture to...a bowl of soup? Architecture separates space. Before the structure, there is only the client, the environment, and space. The plan must meet the means, needs, and desires of…

Today we explore Part II of Italian Architecture. My hand is still pretty badly burnt, so once again, my commentary will be rather spartan. Hopefully by Monday it'll be healed enough to type out more than just a few lines here and there. (more) To…

Rest in Peace, Julius Shulman


I only recently found out that Julius Shulman died at 98 on July 15th, 2009. If you have not had the chance to do so, please read his obituary. He was to architectural photography what Annie Leibovitz is to people portraits, or what Ansel Adams is to natural photography. Shulman was a… Continue

Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center Photos (3 Part Series)

The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, TX, is a Pritzker Prize masterwork by I.M. Pei and Russell Johnson, nestled in the heart of the Arts District.

There are so many photos and so much information to cover, that I've split it into a three part series.

The Cube Project (Seven to Sundae)


From concept to implementation, to re-implementation, 7 cubes, Golden Scale to one another, realized in physical 3D form. Documenting mistakes, misconceptions, and admitting I'd have to start over after completing about 90% of the project was only half the fun.

Architecture separates space. Before the structure, there is only the client, the environment, and space. The plan must meet the means, needs, and desires of the client. The structure must durably tr… Continue
