Stayed the night at a cabin in Kentucky.The host suggested this resturant and the food was delicious. I am now making it a point to drink a local craft beer in every state i go to. These 2 kentucky brews were pretty good. I liked the pale ale a bit better than the ipa. The flavor was a little more complex and had a sweet aroma. You could still taste the hops without it overwhelming everything else. I know kentucky is known for its bourbon but its beer aint bad either. This was @high noon. But its 5 o'clock somewhere😂😂. #craftbeer #roadtripusa #craftbeerlife #craftbeerlover #archlife #beerreview #beerpics #craftbeerpics #kentucky (at Farmer and Frenchman) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz26vLRBksF/?igshid=qvb29yvz5qm5

This was like the only thing intersting driving thru the back roads of Indiana. I have never seen turbines up close before. The things are huge. And there are so damn many of them. I wouldnt even try to count. But i def. Don't care for indiana. Coming out of kentucky the scenery is super bland in indiana. I should have stopped someplace like a major city . Ut thays out the way. #us41 #alternateenergy #windturbines #roadtripusa #roadtrip #arewethereyet #no (at Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz24LgShOG_/?igshid=wkf26lqkw09b

I like the interplay of glass volumes on this builiding. I have a love hate thing with glass. On one hand i love the natural light it provides. I like all the varying shades its availble in. But there is the issue of heat gain. Altho they do sonders to mitigate this eith the advancment if materials. But still adds to the burden of HVAC units. Buildings add immensely to greenhouse gasses affecting our climate change. We have to buikd better buildings.This is what LEED. Is all about. But everything revolving around architecture seems to be geared towards elitist egotism rather than access and application. Maybe that's the wesren world for you. Maybe that cant be changed. I have a ton of questions but very few answers yet. But i work on a solution to a problem every day #archlife #archreview #architecrure #architecturaldesign #blackdesigners #colombianarchitecture #hotelarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkK7bohfbl/?igshid=1jyrwhisyrddk

Wait. What. A nelgian japenese beer?. Its a bit light with a little bite. Not one of my favorites and not one of my hated(reserve that for guiness). It really falls right in the middle with "meh" for me. But i am glad i tried it either way. #beer #foreignbeer #japanesebeer #archlife#belgianbeer (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxC5MHihxdJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7yzel8m7ekdx

I really liked the architecture in colombia. The brickwork was inspiring. Altbo these particular buildings were not spectacular. Irs just so rare in the states to see anu brick buildings of any real hieght. At least in Atlanta. When u go up North u see more preserved brick structures. Mayne not so much that they have been preserved but they have been built to last. And it seems brick is only used in very expensive homes here. So much of the multi family housing has gone the way of lazy psuedo modernist monstrosities that will last no longer than 10 15 yrs if we are lucky. They lack creative expression. But instead reaks of capitalist developers and architects tears. Just on a small scale i have experimced working for investors and tbier ideas if "good" design. Its damaging to the soul. And it makes you dislike the fact that you have work with them. U less you praxtice outsixe of the typical model. But i got off topic. This was about colombia and its penchant for brick. Legend has it that the city architect of BOGOTA had a strong predilection for brick. Hence the reason so much brick is embeded in the city from skyscrapers to roads. Rhe craftmanship of many if these buikdings was absolutely beautiful. The interplay of surfaces achieved by great design and skilled masons..The city courted a romance with me on a few levels. One of them bieng with a new found lust for brick. #bogota🇨🇴 #bogota #cartagena #archlife #architecturereview #colombia #colombianarchitecture #203narcostour #architecture_lovers (at Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwuislIhRAg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wiwhj4kgys26

Wait a minute. A building in Atlanta i actually like?😂😂😂 The architecture in this city is so inconsistent and mediocre that it surprises me when i find something worth actually studying past a quick glance. But to be fair midtown is making some interesting structures. The building reminds me of a giant Jenga game. Transporting me back to playfully Stacked rectilinear blocks offset from one another while you use the basic architetural diaologue of "push & pull" to elicit change in volumetric relationships. The interesting thing here is the play of proportion being carried out. We see 4 balconies in relationship to 2 balconies. That breaks down to a 2:1 proportional system. This system also shows up in how the rectilinear mass is divided centrally to create two rows of windows. Each row representing a storie, altho the block reads as one mass do to the framing around the windows. This 2:1 proportional system is one of my favorites and is used in japanese architecture. IT IS derived from tatami mats. They were design to accomodate 2 people sitting. Or 1 person laying down. This was a cool little project in the city. Maybe ATL will finally develop a style of its own. But i wont hold my breath. #archlife #architecture #architecturereview #atlantaarchitecture #archreview #architecturaldesign #architecturephotography (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwr36mWhZ6i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5g0vx346f29g

Man look. I hadnt seen this guy Parsons in well over a decade. Prolly closer to 15yrs. Always kept up with him and cheered him on from the shadows as he was doing what he loves. For us to run into each other on a whole nother continent and in the same city aint nuthing but the universe working its magic. I have always believed in magic and personal power. Not coinicidence. This was a dope trip. Good times with good people.#blackmentravel #blackinlatinamerica #cartagenacolombia #cartagena #archlife #203narcostour #colombia🇨🇴 #godisdope (at Cartagena, Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwW1SbzBa5G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uadwn37lkjt6
