"Not Built in a Day," started in 2008, is my personal blog about architecture, urbanism, and the built environment. I also enjoy reviewing books, films, and exhibitions, and write travel descriptions of my time abroad and in new cities around the US. My personal design work can be viewed on my Tumblr.
