Bad Architecture

I live in the bad architecture capital of the world; along with bad clothes, bad boob jobs and leopard skin high heel shoes.  Florida takes the cake for aesthetical breakdown.

However, rather than subjectively reacting to building design or interior selections, focus should be given to what architecture is truly about; proportion, scale, honesty towards materials used.

In a meeting recently, the client expressed concern with a building design style presented.  In response, a different style, British West Indies, was suggested.  The reaction, sort of like watching someone eat sea urchin, created a dialogue.

Architecture is about shaping elements into the built form in a cohesive, thoughtful and coordinated manner.  I’m pretty sure leopards never meant to be high heels.
