DEN - Denver International Airport. Give it a google and check out all the conspiracy theories. The art program is interesting, to say the least, but I have to say that I dig it. The terminal has aged tremendously well since its opening in the mid 90’s and the mountains provide a dynamic backdrop. The only downside is the hour bus ride into the city. Construction on the light rail connection is currently in the works so that will help alleviate the long commute.

A little glimpse into the new Love Field.

Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.

I’ve jumped into The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs and found this passage extremely interesting. What does it say about our instinctual design decisions when men are subconsciously designing themselves out of the picture? How do the solutions of women designers compare? Keep in mind this book was published in 1961. Should our society be matriarchal? Maybe it already is but we don’t recognize that fact. View high resolution

Nylo just moved into the old casket factory in the South Side district of Dallas. The rooftop has a  pretty decent view of the skyline. 

Our own little art gallery.

After searching for a way to spice up our very long, very blank wall entry wall … we decided we had to have something that could change with our taste. We took a trip out to Home Depot for S hooks, chain, and perforated angles. This gave us a way to change the height and orientation of the prints. I took three of my architectural photos and put them up along the wall to fill the space. Since the prints are so large we think the b/w fits in very well.

Work sent me out to DCA and IAD today. Finally got to see the Washington Dulles main terminal by Eero Saarinen
