I’m such a sucker for this kind of stuff. It’s probably my inner-architect, whom I exiled during college, trying to squeeze back in.
The grand irony is that I quit my pursuit of architecture because I felt that there was not enough potential to create genuine impact through design alone. In retrospect, it seems surprising to me that it went down like that, because I went to a very Modernist school, where “form follows function” was the law of the land.
I’m just glad that so many others have found ways to put their skills to good use.
