Ok, not that starchitects don't provide a valuable service to our profession, what with the low-paying jobs, over-budget projects, glossy magazine photos and that.....
But if you read the homepage news thread you'd think that's all we're about.
How about some shout-outs today to local architects who design solid projects that the rest of us never hear about. Please list projects, names, locations, and web sites if applicable. Here, I'll start:
Terry Brown, professor at my alma mater, UC. His home on Erie Avenue in Hyde Park looks like something out of a Tolkien book. Sorry, I don't have pictures.
I haven't seen his work in person, but Marlon Blackwell seems to do some of the coolest stuff around given what I have seen on his website. He is in Arkansas and teaches at the U of Arkansas.
Yes, Terry Brown's house is great - I think it's called the Mushroom House. Here's a pic:
Koolhaas, Gehry, and other starchitects I'm tired of hearing about

How about those stariest of starchitects: God!!!!! Nobody gives him props for designing the world man!!!!!
Or do we all believe that the world was created by a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon?

One of the few profs at the school that actually practice! Also a reputed Tolkien fan.
