More than a blank page...

This is a space of repository: ideas, thoughts, theories, musings that may be the ending point, or just the beginning...

...musings on the world of architecture--its history, theory, practice, pedagogy--and its impact on our everyday world--its cultures, societies, psychology and phenomenology--from the pinpoint perspective of my view.

Defining Community

Whether we live within a city, suburb or rural area,
we all live in
communities within communities. 
 
 
We build and define our communities
based on how far we are willing to walk, ride our bike or drive our car
to buy food, work, play, learn and socialize
 
 
Architecture, at its best, understands this concept,
embraces it out of necessity.
For without it,
architecture is only a building with
four walls,
a floor,
a roof. 
 
 
With the story of communities,
their people,
their souls,
their stories,
their values,
their customs,
architecture is alive.
