Thanks for visiting my blog, Arturo. You know, we probably passed each other on Locust Walk many times yet never "met" until now.
I love Medieval architecture and love this picture of Saint Chapelle. Even in a photo, it fills me with awe and makes me feel insignificant.
A funny architecture story: A few years ago, on an upscale street in an upscale suburb of New Orleans, a man built a mansion based on plans drawn up by Palladio. The neighbors were in an uproar over this "eyesore." It was too "modern" for them. (The sad afterstory: That street was badly flooded when the federal levees broke, so that house may no longer be there.)
Hi Shauna How funny that you found this blog of mine. I intended it to be an architecture blog, but I spend more time writing in my other blog, cronyogitect. But ocassionally I write here, or maybe test things here.
The photograph of St. Chapelle is spectacular. My friend Victor, who took the picture, is a very talented architect. He's also a great photographer. You should check out his flickr page.
That story about a Palladio house appearing too modern in New Orleans is funny. It also shows how unexposed to history people can be.
Thanks for writing. Your blog is admirable - obtaining interviews with writers. It's really laudable. I liked the interview with the lady that carries the plastic chicken. It's a very funny piece.

Glad you enjoyed looking through my blog and the interview with Christee of the rubber chicken.
