The Miami Pier Museum of Latin American Immigrants has, beyond its massive formal drama, the effect of focusing ones attention to where the immigrants came from, which causes reflection on a long and arduous journey. This is not only a…

Prefabricated Nature
I have become more and more interested in prefabricated architecture over the years. I realize that this can be a boring subject to some, but I think there are broad and interesting implications that surround the subject.
