There are lots of buildings. I'm not complaining about this fact, I intend to make my living designing more, but as an Architecture student its pretty difficult remembering all the ones I've seen and what I think about them.
Hence, I've decided to create this blog as a scrap-book of thoughts about buildings I come across which, if I'm lucky, will make evident my own architectural tastes and inform my designs. Well that's the plan. Failing that, at least I'll have an excuse to spend hours trawling through architectural websites looking at lovely images and a personalised site to collect them on.
Astoria Architecture. Admittedly a bit pretentious sounding, but there is method here - its the name of the first building I remember having an active interest in when I was about 5, a remarkably unremarkable former dance hall in Leeds which lay in disrepair near my home. I'm not going to go as far as saying it inspired me to become an Architect, for that [unoriginally] I have to blame Lego, but the feeling of being helpless to save the building is one I remember vividly and made me want to grow-up quickly so I could do something.
Reminiscing aside, I shall now endeavour to commence with this blog.
