Manhattan in August 

Physically I am in Houston, but mentally… emotionally.. I am stuck in NYC. Sigh.

Concrete Box House Robertson Design

The design of this relatively modest house has a definite Japanese influence. The carefully choreographed entry sequence, the material clarity, and the sculptural presence of the house all have their roots in the Japanese residential tradition. The building is composed of three elements- a concrete box, a wooden box, and the low concrete wall that encloses the entry courtyard. Fenestration on the front is limited, while courtyards as well as numerous skylights fill the seemingly blank boxes with ample natural light. The first floor is a single space where slight level changes delineate function. The simple and bright white rooms of the second floor stand in marked contrast to the downstairs with its wood and concrete walls.

I came to make the sky a garden."

June bug

Today my childhood comes knocking against my gloved hands. While washing dishes in the dark, while watching the rain fill up the drainage pipes downstairs, while driving around in the humidity and noticing the tan pools of water collecting at deserted construction sites.  Something about dirt and rocks and little shovels and spilled watering cans and I am six and seven years old again. Rusty,…
