building dreams

it would be wonderful to see a renewal of good public architecture---

In about 32 days Obama goes into office - and he’s promised ‘change’. Well, I think we all realize that ‘change’ would mean doing something about this clusterf@ck of an economy - but what could this mean for architects? The President Elect has promised new public projects, to both create jobs and rebuild our infrastructure - and he’s said he wanted to be an architect when he was younger. So, will this translate into a new era of great American architecture - schools, government buildings, public spaces, libraries, courthouses, embassies, etc? This nation’s image is in great need of a facelift - maybe architecture can benefit from the political botox.
