		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Frank O. Gehry has been sued by MIT for some serious issues regarding the design of the three year old Stata Center. This building is a great example of the difference between architecture and sculpture. Architecture is meant to be inhabited and used. Sculpture is to be looked at and admired. Architecture can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mies van Der Rohe said &#8220;less is more&#8221;.  At first, this thought seems to make sense.  But Milton Glazer has a more nuanced position that I think nails it.  He said: &#160; Being a child of modernism I have heard this mantra all my life. Less is more. One morning upon awakening I realised that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My partner designed a &#8220;traditional&#8221; house for a client of ours. It&#8217;s currently under construction and we went out for a site visit. It&#8217;s nicely designed. However, the owners have made some poor decisions and mucked up the proportions. It&#8217;s now taller than it should have been. As designed, it was pretty good. But I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who desire residential architecture that better reflects our modern times have wondered what it will take to get there.  A look through plan books, Better Homes and Gardens, and a number of places show that we&#8217;re not leaning modern, yet. The &#8220;Green&#8221; movement might bring hope.  While vernacular designs did take into [...]]]></description>
