The Built Environment

When I was a kid there were three possible things I aspired to be: a travel journalist, a chef, or an architect. While none of the three came to fruition, I still live out all of them in some aspect of my life. To this day I am mesmerized by the built environment. Frank Gehry once said, "Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to penetrate the barriers of misunderstanding and provide a beautiful context for life's drama." Buildings, whether they be in their beautiful glory, or in a sad, dilapidated state, evoke emotions in me that penetrate my core. Here are some photos I have taken of buildings or skylines over the last couple of years:
