Beautiful Colorful Architecture
Paul Le Quernec’s cultural center in Mulhouse, France

I want to experience this place immediately.

Beautiful Los Angeles
LA has one of the best modern mid-century gems.
architecture. The openness and creative flow of the
city is vast. LA is the ideal setting for the mid-century
aesthetic characterized by open floor plans, clean lines,
large and plentiful windows and lots of natural light.

Beautiful Bauhaus
Bunk with Breuer and the gang. The Bauhaus Dessau is now open to the public,
a modernist dream. For $47 a night, you can snooze in the same rooms that were
shared by Joseph Albers and architects Franz Ehrlich and Alfred Arndt.
Sweet dreams indeed. Sleep like a Bauhasler.

Beautiful Green Architecture
I had the pleasure of touring the new Bullitt Center
tonight with other members of the IIDA. Kudos to
Robert Pena, an architecture professor at the UW
and consultant for the Integrated Design Lab, for
leading the group.
The Bullitt Center is the greenest commercial
building in the world. Hopefully it starts a trend.

These exterior “blinds” open and close according
to the level of sunlight. When we arrived they were
closed; as the sun was setting a short time later
they automatically opened to allow more light
into the space.

Beautiful Architecture
During one of my random walks recently I stumbled
upon a gem at 777 Thomas Street. It’s a great example
of an Art Deco style building designed by
George Wellington Stoddard in 1931, a notable and
prolific Seattle architect whose buildings are scattered
throughout Seattle.
But little did I know, this gem is at the center of an
interesting controversy that surrounds the future of
the building. When I got home I was curious and
researched the building to learn more about it and was
surprised to learn that it’s “fighting for its life” and seeking
to be preserved as a landmark. Currently the developer is
suing the city in what sounds like a battle over development.
It will be interesting to follow and see what happens.
With all the new development around the South Lake Union area
I think would be nice to save it…what do other people think?

Beautiful Photography
These images, taken from the top of the Egyptian pyramids with Cairo in the
background, are simply astonishing. I keep staring at them in amazement.
It is incredible to me these works of art were built thousands of years ago by
humans with nary a high-tech tool. Kudos to those willing to take the risk.

Beautiful Arches
Took an afternoon to see Gravity today
at the IMAX and couldn’t resist the scenery.
Movie was technically+visually spectacular
but I enjoyed photographing the arches
just as well.
