ruminations about architecture and design

where would we live if not here?


The living room of the Storer House, by Wright. It remains one of my favorite pieces of architecture. Could I live in it? Probably not for more than a few nights--maybe a week, tops. Which brings me to an article I read today about some analysis of Census data done by the NAHB. They found that the 55+ population is evenly distributed across the nation, indicating that the conventional wisdom of "old people going south" is not necessarily true. In many respects, this makes sense to me. Even if I was offered a pile of money to leave New England, I might think twice. We're a migratory nation, but on our own terms and on our own timetable.
