205:

Note: You'll see overtime I am an erratic writer. I will usually go all over the board and at times just disappear. It is certainly an indicator of who I am and how I work best. 

I haven't been in much of a conclusion based writing mood these days; I have several pieces that are under construction, awaiting edits and images. Personally, I am not worried. This blog is coming together nicely.

This morning I ranted on camera about what I think architecture is and how this will ultimately tie into any work I produce, not just for the blog, but in general. This entry, more than the others, I would appreciate feedback and conversation on what other people think. The typical longwinded essay of my mouth ties the theory of what arch should be, how that ties to urbanism, and how do we best represent it.
