Lots of modernist and mid-century architectural highlights from the latest Honolulu visit - we’ll start with a pet hospital, a Googie event arena, a concert hall & an open air concert venue.

Architecture Field Trip - OC Finds

Recently I had time to fit in a couple of art and architecture moments in Orange County on the way to spend time with family and friends. It’s always good to have a backlog of places to see!

Library Love - Seattle Central Library

When my cousin learned that I was traveling to Seattle way back in 2015, she wanted to get my take on the central library designed by Rem Koolhaus that opened in 2004. I had planned to visit the library anyway as is my habit when in a new city, but now I had an assignment. :-)

Back to School 2023

With Labor Day just past and fall around the corner, I thought it timely to do a back-to-school post. Though I am long past a formal student on campus, I still make it a point to stay engaged in self-learning and personal growth. Still a lot of reading, writing and though not much arithmetic, I substitute creating and curating instead.
