ruminations about architecture and design

thursday in may


Light fixtures will always puzzle me, and I get the feeling that they have been puzzling designers for more than a century. I want to dispel the idea that someday we'll have "smart" integrated wall and ceiling products that provide ambient lighting at any hue, intensity, and direction. "Luminaires" will always be stand-alone items.

The only thing I've learned in the past 12 years in architecture is that it can cost more to save and renovate buildings than start from scratch. And that is why so many people start from scratch.
