Ovech Fortress, Provadiya

Role of Load-Bearing building technology in Vernacular architecture

Load-bearing building technology is emphasised a lot with regards to Vernacular architecture. I wonder what connection it holds so important with it. Does vernacular only mean load-bearing now? Perhaps we will see Vernacular in RCC. Continue

First Istanbul Tour Walk

I thought, as for the first tour leg of all, it was going to be the most ambitious though, compared to the rest upcoming, the all four of them would come relatively so. The day began at pre-noon time with the usual late breakfast, a trade mark of mine, and… Continue

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. My class was lucky enough to be offered an in-depth architectural tour of it by architect Tom Cox.

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. Following our exploration… Continue

Separating Space and Serving Soup

In the latest blog entry, we compare and contrast great architecture to...a bowl of soup?
