A Problem with Architecture

White House smells of Parthenon Have you ever looked at a soulless plot of land, ready for cookie-cutter development and realized that residential homes have not come very far in the last 5 decades? Well, I have, and it is a sh*^^y sight to see. You see one problem that I have with current residential architecture is that it is stagnant. Even the very beautiful Victorian homes that grace San Franciscan hills are dormant of creativity because in a way the designers back then were more interested in preserving older concepts than creating new ones. This is felt mostly in the Greek Revival homes that then went out of fashion replaced by Gothic Era, Italianate, and Neo-Classicism.

Strange Compliments I've Received

It was opening night for the 5th annual Tucson Film Festival: A mental wonder of epic audio and visual proportions. I admitted got there late, just in time to catch an amazing group, La Chat Lunatique . They were an amazing live set that performed what can arguable be called gypsy jazz. A energetic lead singer, the guitar and bass players were powerful, while the drums really held the smooth rhythm through out the night. Aurelia Cohen, performing in the lobby was just amazing in her black and white striped outfit, with masquerade masque on. Her spinning was dizzyfying, the mood rich, as she traversed her oval o'steel creating shapes of both strength and grace. On the outside there were complete Installations of voluntary impromptu, percussion, string, and vibrational metal that often coalesced into something a higher form than just noise, but enjoyable.
