Blog for the Aspiring Architect. Entries by tag: fallingwater. The Muppets take Monticello. March 9th, 2010. So imagine if you will that Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog and Sam Eagle are on a road-trip to Charlottesville, VA. That would be desperately close to what my past weekend was. AND IT WAS GLORIOUS. However, in comparison to Versailles, (which is where Jefferson stayed while in France) Monticello becomes as much a criticism of French Design as it is a monument to it. Example 1: The triple-hung window.

Love Letters to Dead Architects: Snowday letter palooza - Blog for the Aspiring Architect
http://archjr.livejournal.com/9764.html
Blog for the Aspiring Architect. Love Letters to Dead Architects: Snowday letter palooza. February 7th, 2010. Admit it, you’re a woman. Listen, I know it wasn’t cool in your day to come out as a pre-opt trannie. But it’s been a couple of millennia since then and I don’t see why you need to hide this anymore. You may say to yourself “where is your evidence of this? Rdquo; the simple answer is: I have none. Except that every sculpture of you has gigantic boobs. Love, eternally,. My Dearest Inigo Jones,.

Blog for the Aspiring Architect. Entries by tag: frank lloyd wright. February 8th, 2010. Hey Bra, it was the 80's. That is until we break-up. For Reals, dude is a killa. Welcome to all of Architecture. The most obvious case. Our love is Pritzker Prize Winning. You don't remember what it's like to be my age. Love, Prague Style. They're like the Ross and Rachel of Philadelphia Civic Planing. Tags: frank lloyd wright. Powered by LiveJournal.com.

The Newseum in Washington D.C. - Blog for the Aspiring Architect
http://archjr.livejournal.com/9312.html
Blog for the Aspiring Architect. The Newseum in Washington D.C. January 19th, 2010. Over the weekend, I finally got to the Newseum in. I am a little predispositioned to like it, as the title is a portmanteau, which is usually pretty amaziful. What struck me the most was how much this building reminded me, not of journalism, but of journalists. Overall the structure was driven, determined, accessible, honest, pompous and flawed. Confusion, when pushed onto other people, is just rude and inconvenient.

The PSFS Building, Philadelphia, PA - Blog for the Aspiring Architect
http://archjr.livejournal.com/10189.html
Blog for the Aspiring Architect. The PSFS Building, Philadelphia, PA. February 8th, 2010. I have to admit, I lived. That I’ll never do something so stupid again. I pledge, with the earnestness of a alter server, that I will see their beautiful buildings and compliment them. However, I’ve lived in. For about six months now and have yet to go to the Benjamin LaTrobe Cathedral or the Baltimore Museum of Art, what can I tell you? I’m a bad, bad person. Why must you always break my heart? This building was or...

Love Letters to Dead Architects: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Rome - Blog for the Aspiring Architect
http://archjr.livejournal.com/12606.html
Blog for the Aspiring Architect. Love Letters to Dead Architects: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Rome. March 2nd, 2010. While this is not specifically a love-letter, it does involve a former Letter awardee. That's right. The Ragin' Meditteranian, The Emperor Hadrian. This is from Dio Cassius documenting one time when Hadrian killed his rival, Apollodorus. To quote the man who sent this to me: I think he definitely showed Apollodorus that you can't put a collar on the H-dawg. Powered by LiveJournal.com.
