Really nice design on the building. I love reinforced concrete architecture. I'm a big Corbusier fan. Admittedly, I also love van der Rohe too. Architecture really lost me with Michael Graves. I think there is a sort transcendent serenity with Corbusier and van der Rohe. Even Wright if you strip away the ornamentation. But man he really needed taller ceilings. I did a tour of Falling Water one time. I'm only 5'11'' and I felt a bit claustrophobic.

Oscar Niemeyer. Awesomely weird. Love it. Louis Kahn too. The Kimball Art Museum is fantastic. I go there all the time. Sorry, I got to thinking.....which is never a good thing. :) Great photos.
 
Nice pics, looks like the office has a nice atmosphere! I like the tonality of these shots too! Not too contrasty but not too flat either, with that nice fluidity that B&W prints sometimes have.
 
Briar, I didn't. Seems I was shooting it all wrong. One has to keep the DR on Auto at all times to keep from blowing out highlights, and up the ISO a bit.

Michael Graves. I've always wondered about substance abuse with him. I'm a huge fan of Corbusier as well. I spent the early years growing up in Chandigarh, a city designed by Corbusier, and it left a lasting impression. Last night I was keynote speaker at a conference where the focus of my talk was how the world is moving away from a "single idea" solution to a softer more collaborative approach to design. The traditional role of an architect as 'creator' is being replaced by the designer being a facilitator of meaningful conversations, and its in the conversations that the roots of the solution reside. As soon as one makes a decision, it kills off the possibility of continuing a conversation, and one should keep that in mind at all times. The conversations could be on any front, with anyone, or anything, real or imaginary. It could (and should) be with your client, the site, the craftsmen, the consultants, the weather, society, etc. Inclusive design is not a new idea, but it has never been more relevant. Especially now, when we as a species are finally starting to see the inter-connected of things around us, and not just at an emotional level, but as scientific certainty.

It's great to know you're interested in design! Thanks for your comment. Glad you like our little office.
