History has shown that certain techniques or processes are capable of solving problems that they were not originally intended to solve.

Towns are quickly growing into cities, and some of the densest places in the world are comprised of makeshift homes, otherwise referred to as slums. Furthermore, already overcrowded cities have to absorb people leaving their rural hometown in hope of job opportunities. There are currently over 1 billion slum dwellers in the world.

Light - As we See it! - #HealthyLightingDesigns
By Pon Kumaresh: This blog would attempt to cover basic design factors typically considered in lighting design.

In 1998, i was asked about the material of the filament inside the incandescent bulb, for which i did not have a clue, at that time. I am an engineer and i have the aptitude to learn the subject is what i told the interviewer and surprisingly, got into the lighting industry!

Perhaps it is that shameful ignorance that gave me a voracious appetite to proactively seek, learn and understand lighting.

SAVE Jose Oubrerie's The Miller House

By Ari Sogin, Katie Halsey: The Miller House, located in Lexington, Kentucky, is slowly being encroached on by generic suburban housing developments. Designed by Jose Oubrerie, the last living apprentice to study under Le Corbusier, the Miller House which once sat on a little over 29 acres and overlooked a lake, is now a single lot in a developing cookie cutter neighborhood. The house has been repossessed by the FDIC and its value has been significantly decreased monetarily and culturally. #SAVEtheMillerHouse: The Miller House, located in Lexington, Kentucky, is slowly being encroached on by generic suburban housing developments.

The Soft City - Architecture's Public?
By Matthew Rust: The purpose of The Soft City is to question the motives and ideology behind our urban spaces. As urban users, we are active elements within a city. We have the ability to shape the city surrounding us. Consequently the environment around us offers resistance to our interactions and reshapes us in turn. This continuous moulding and reshaping of people and space is directly reflected in our societies.

This relationship will help form the key theme for the blog; who is architecture's public?
