Louis Kahn Power of Architecture Journey Continues in Philly

Do you feel like your life is made up of serendipitous events? It often feels that way to me. A month ago while fact checking a reference for my Louis Kahn Pilgrimage blog post, Google brought up The Fabric Workshop Museum (FWM) website. On it, a special event associated with the Louis Kahn Power of Architecture exhibit, was listed. William Whitaker, the archivist at the University of Pennsylvania would be leading a tour of 2 Kahn residences - the Fisher House in Hatsboro and the Esherick House in Chestnut Hill.

Crossing Bridges

There's something about a bridge that entices you to look and to cross, even if it takes you out of your way. I've come across a number of pedestrian bridges in and around the downtown San Diego area and farther afield.

Craftsman Adventure in La Jolla – The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Since I missed visiting the Gamble House Sunday, why not visit a craftsman Orchid in La Jolla? The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, which opened in 2002, has received numerous awards, including the Grand Orchid for Outstanding Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design and Lighting by the San Diego Architecture Foundation.

(Almost) 24 Hours in LA

Do you read travel magazine itineraries for cities you plan to visit? You know, the articles that are based on your travel interests (i.e., sports, culture, food) that suggest what to see and do if you have x number of days? I like to read them because I’m curious. I sometimes follow up on recommendations, but mostly make it up as I go.
