Architecture

I have had a lifelong fascination with architecture & design. If I can’t design for a living, I can at least enjoy taking pictures of buildings and their architectural features.

Well plaid — When we arrived at the hotel on Sunday, I knew I wanted to get this picture. Monday, I grabbed it. I had to lie down in the road to get the picture, but it was worth it. Graduate Hotel, Fayetteville, Arkansas, April 2026. 2

After the concert — We were in Fayetteville for a Chris Thile concert. We enjoyed seeing him at the Kauffman Center, Kansas City in February, and booked tickets when we saw he was going to be in Fayetteville.

Old and new — The older building in the foreground appears more substantial and has much better proportions than the newer building in the background. The latter looks insubstantial, flimsy, and ill proportioned.

Top of the Power and Light Building. I love Art Deco architecture.

Beach-front Hotels.

Ocean City Beach. Maryland — Looking south, commercial development ceases abruptly.

Commercial Development II — I changed position, and this works a lot better at showing the development without the hotel getting quite as much attention.

Commercial Development — This wasn’t meant to be a picture of this hotel. I was more interested in how commercial development dominates the environment and how the buildings seem to run forever along the coast. +1

Brighton Pavillion, not the usual view — We walked along the seafront and around the pavilion while we waited to meet up with Jacqi, who was coming down by train for the day.

Marine Court on St. Leonards-on-Sea seafront (East Sussex, UK) – an Art Deco apartment block built between 1936 and 1938 and modeled on the Cunard ocean liner Queen Mary.

London Heathrow, T5 — I love buildings like this, and we spent ages looking at the construction details.

Kentuck Knob — Frank Lloyd Wright. Our last stop before heading back to Missouri was a visit to Kentuck Knob for another Frank Lloyd Wright fest. 12

Duncan House – Frank Lloyd Wright. We booked in for a whistle-stop tour of another three mid-century modern houses and the tour included an early dinner. The houses included the Duncan House by Frank Lloyd Wright. 11

Fallingwater — as close as you can get. The public don’t have access to the place where the most iconic picture of Fallingwater was taken. We have to make do with a spot a couple of hundred yards away. 2
