    Atlantic Wharf (née Russia Wharf) | Atlantic Ave | Waterfront

    Architects Design Mainly for Themselves

    This was an interesting read. There is definitely a gulf between architects and the general public, which goes largely unaddressed by the design world. The fact is that once you start to appreciate modern architecture, there really is no going back. At that moment you see the world differently...

    New York City Trip - suggestions?
