Thesis Statement as of Halloween, 2010:

Michigan Central Train Depot, Detroit Michigan

Architecture as a timestamp, an expression, a diagram, an artistic reflection of a culture; this is my idea of the perfect building type.


Sick of utopian ideals and standardized building typologies, I want to see more architecture that pushes the building to do something for the people who occupy it.


Boston(for example) needs to ask itself why do I have 6 billion bricks in my city? Suburbia needs to ask itself why do I have shutters on my house if they don't close? The point is that (most) Architectural design no longer uses the ideas that art(of any medium) is based on, a foundation of reflection and expression.


Let's make more interesting buildings, and let's do it for/with our communities.
