Scenery

Was in New York recently. Here I am enjoying quite a view from the top of 30 Rockefeller Center.

(re)Think

When I first saw this project a while ago I thought they had lost their marbles - both Kentucky, the city that said yes, and the architects, OMA. However this year I have begun to re-evaluate the practice of architecture, the built environment, and the artifacts (buildings) we leave behind.

I happened to have just passed by this video which I thought I would share of architect, Joshua Prince-Ramus, who at 36 years old has been the chief designer of one of my favorite buildings, the Seattle Library. I only just learned that Prince-Ramus was also the chief designer of a building which sort of frightened me but now I find completely fascinating.

It's well worth the 20min and it might help to explain to some people exactly what I'm trying to do in school. [It's also easier to watch if you blow it up to full screen.]
