    About the Book

    Edit

    This book is a compendium of work done in a one man office. It summarizes the first years of a young, small practice. It can be seen as my First Two Chapters on Architecture. The two chapters show Small Buildings and Drawing on the Road.



    As an organizational tool, this book acts as a clarifying scaffold, a filter for illuminating an intense ongoing dialogue, and struggle, between architecture and drawing with and without the computer. The book simply asks: What am I trying to do? What am I trying to say? Am I doing it as clearly as possible? And after looking at the work - does it add up to something that makes sense? By publishing the work, it gains increasing clarity, understanding, and perhaps, with time - some kind of deeper meaning.



    Beginning in New York City and finishing in Miami the design work for small buildings stands in an ebb and flow between the edge of the city and the beginning of the sea. Projects such as the Urban Urchin, Miami Grass house, the Mechanical House, Bay Architectures and the Life Guard Tower are all intimately tied to water. My interest in a subtle yet powerful aqueous nature is carried through to the watercolor drawings with an emphasis on fluid light and a morphic energy. This way of working becomes a means for questioning and answering by juxtaposing ideas and feelings constantly through drawing and building.



    I see these first projects, built works, drawings, paintings, essays, and travelogues as an attempt to define a gentle manifesto with a kind of quiet apercu.
