Described by artist Chris Drury, "Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky" presents an encounter with nature seemingly divorced from everyday human perception, “like a scene from an old movie or a dream.”

AIA Condemns Demolition of the White House East Wing and Calls for Transparency in Public Architecture

The demolition of the East Wing without full public engagement or clarity undermines the very process that the design and preservation professions developed

Hard to believe Studebaker managed this in 1953. Best-looking Loewy "Italian-style" design ever in America? I think so.

I didn’t know before this trip that Eero Saarinen designed the #stlouis arch. I pushed to name our son Eero but my wife decided against it in the end. #architecture #design

The Warner Theatre in West Chester, Pennsylvania was a 1,600 seat cinema from 1930 into the 1970s. After an attempt as a live theatre in the 1980s, the auditorium was demolished in 1986. Since 2012 the surviving art deco facade and lobby serve as the entrance to a hotel on the same site.
