Thanks for the kind words, Lee! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed all our content. We try really hard to select topics we think are important and would appeal to you. We also feel it’s a necessity to speak in a way that everyday people can understand (which is something that we notice so few architecture firms do). Thanks again for reading!

Agreed! I spent the better part of an hour looking at the “Making of Crystal Bridges” display at the Museum and marveled at the engineering feats involved in creating the project. I even bought the book describing the architecture and construction process to dive into more. I believe it took 5 years to construct and costs were withheld by the client (as is usually the case). As for Thorncrown, construction took 1 year, and again, costs were withheld, but it was noted that funds were running out when a generous donation from an unknown Illinois woman came through).
