The Building Bloc(k) is meant as a forum to discuss all things architecture along with the allied fields. Architecture is both my passion and my profession so at any given time architecture holds various sways over me. Usually it excites. Occasionally it angers. Sometimes it confuses. But no matter what emotion it evokes, architecture not only needs but deserves a discussion (sometimes serious, sometimes fun) to advance the field in a positive direction. Please join the discussion.
