Architecture Here and There

MARCH 26, 2022

Once I arrived, I told the secretary that I was interested in architecture and would love to see Mr. Zeckendorf’s private office if possible. I did not say I was an architecture student, which I certainly was not. I wrote about her the day after she died in this column for the Journal, “ Sketching my mom of moms.”

The education of an architect intentionally and systematically breaks down the creative process “baggage” and untrained habits of their students, and then starts the process of rebuilding that process in a non-stigmatized environment. Which would explain why I’m at this blog. Probably too much so.

One of the chief joys of reading architecture blogs like this one is imagining yourself inhabiting fantastical, otherworldly houses. Sharon Johnston and her firm, Johnston Marklee , are keenly aware of this relationship between architecture and fantasy. Left: ARE Sketches Volume I; right: Lora Teagarden. Sharon Johnston.
