Nostalgia

SW Oregon Architect

The Glenwood Restaurant (Google Street View screen capture) Our sentimentality for the past, particularly for times with happy personal associations, tends to increase as we grow older. We fondly remember relationships, places, and significant experiences, reflecting upon how they shaped us and provided our lives with meaning.

The project therefore entailed a global and integrated renovation project that involved both the structural aspects of the building and energy efficien

A4: Architectural Historian Vincent Scully

A4 Architects

Many people have teachers that we particularly remember as having had an especially large impact on their lives and careers. For me, that teacher was Vincent Scully, who taught Architecture at Yale University from 1947 when he was still completing his PhD until 1991 when he officially retired. He was, for the vast majority of his career, the most popular teacher at Yale and typically was assigned the Law School Auditorium as it was the largest teaching space on campus.
