Gothic homes of the brave stand between the winners and losers.

Words built on words to sound nice will sacrifice the most important part of the sentence and this is to tell information.

Buildings don't have to be this though.

In a metropolis we are surround by a Grand Cannon of human constructed memento's to the past. It's hard to understand how the Jetsons will look back at the buildings made the turn of century of Y2K. Most modern architecture seem to try to fulfill the dream of a bad Sci Fi novel.

Giant glass structures are trying to watch over are children, but they are Children them self's. They are wearing the hand me downs of design's past. Can we escape a world that looks like its made buy Apple Computers? If we continue down this path it seems a walk threw a City will be the same as a walk threw a hall of mirrors.

Even Worse are the buildings that steal from the past. They are just cheep black and white print out of old photo graphs, that hold the same amount of value as a year book of a stranger. They don't belong to the past or present and most importantly the future.

How is it that box's are the most outrageous forms of modern architecture. It such a reflection on the present generation, that boldest things we have to say is nothing at all.

I want awkward intrusions in to my world. I want black sheep that turn Thanksgiving dinner In to heated arguments.

City's are made to give of light in the darkest night to blind out the stars and keep us in the lie that we are important and not surrounded by a endless cosmos. Even in this super simplified rules of what is, we still lose at the game we created. Instead of turning out city that is a sand box of creativity, we make fax machines are homes.

I am talking about Aqua building in Chicago.

A Building that is just confusing. It find's it self in some thing new, or dose it? It's lost in between a Joy Division album cover and Steven Seagal dress In old Chinese formal wear. Sure its cool and new now, but I have a feeling that soon it will be as cool as your Dad with a head band.

I do give it credit for being new. It reminds me of that scene in the Matrix's when the helicopter crashes in to a building.

That's what's wrong. It feels like a 1999 awkward vice president Al Gore running for president. I want a 2010 noble prize winning bearded dude who is cool with him self, but still wants to change the world.
