Psychology of architecture

I think there is an undefined "flock" mentality of architecture in the United States. For a country that has prided itself on breaking boundaries and creating new technology and lifestyles, architecture by and large, has stayed to the reasoning of if the neighbor has it, then I want the same. If you know of any books to read about this concept, please pass along the titles so that I can figure a way to capture a new market.

Ready for the new build cycle!

This is an article that should pave the way for more responsible building in the next wave! Smaller, greener, and thoughtful.

Radio Show

Announcing my Radio Show on WCHE 1520 AM on Tuesday, January 18th at 3:00pm! Speaking on several issues relating to residential architecture in the 21st century. Any requests for topics?

2011

Good news from 2010! Four times as many projects in 2010 as the previous year. 2011 has much promise as I have been talking to many clients about repeat business. Evaluating goals for 2011 and thinking about some options for photo journeys this year. Here is to a great start to my third year in business!

Meaning of "Architect"

I continue to read articles and hear advertisements for people to be "architects" of this or that. When the AIA hears someone that is in the field that is not a registered architect, they will prosecute. When is it alright to co-op a professions' title continually? If I continued to call myself a "space-doctor", I imagine that at some point the AMA would chase after me. I have worked to become an architect, in the classical term, for years at school, finish exams, and intern. It is a compliment and insult that the title is used by so many others. Obviously other professions aspire to our level of work, but don't care to leave their names alone. I shall work on creating a new interpretation of "architect" using other trades' titles! Suggestions?

Early December Update

Good News, two projects have signed on in the last two weeks! Additions and small business are the wave of 2010, and I believe for a few years. Pictures have been taken of some recent work and that will be added to the website soon. Unfortunately, I have mismanaged the facebook portion of BHA's online presence and have to figure out a resolution. Seasons Greetings and more updates soon!

Radio Appearance

I have solidified a time to be on the Radio! Listen to WCHE 1520AM, Tuesday January 18th from 3pm to 4pm to chat about architecture. The same host of the show is hosting a holiday party, so I shall attend that to get prepped for the broadcast. Please feel free to write with topics you believe are worthy of discussion, architecturally related!
