Real life or Lego? As an 80s babies, my design passion was first ignited by a simple set of Legos that I would create into special worlds of my own (see last image) but this takes it to a whole new level.
The "comfort town" housing project by archimatika is a colorful development of concrete buildings in Kyiv, Ukraine, responding to the surrounding 50s and 60s communist-era housings

"Doric Trabeation" - Watercolor on Arches Paper. I made this painting of the classic Doric Order of architecture in my first year of Architecture School (Univ of IL at Chicago, 1987). Crazy how time flies. I was really shocked to learn that the Greek Temples were really painted in these bright colors.

While I was visiting my bonus mom Anne in MI last week she took me to Andrews University (a private Seventh-day Adventist university in Berrien Springs, MI) and treated me to a day at their brand-new fitness/wellness center - The Andreasen Center for Wellness designed by Design Collaborative. I was obsessed with the cool lobby furniture, the salt water pool and their "healing center" - I mean, the steam room has a sparkling ceiling.
I'm building a case that my little hamlet of Mt Tremper, NY has some of the coolest design popping up in the Catskills. We have some Passive Solar Houses, Modernist Style, Prairie Style and a new breakfast place with the most deelish "chubby squirrels" pastries ever. Planning a visit to the Catskills? Make sure you include Mt Tremper on your agenda.
Buddy and I hanging out at that exquisite Fisher Center building at Bard College by Frank Gehry. Simply sublime!
