It really sucks when that happens.

I mostly read about architectural design, history, technology, and detailing to support strong design delivery. Lately, I’ve been diving into biographies of architects we skimmed in school—fascinating how their stories shape today’s work. Also, lots of documentaries

Some good ones too look out for.

I missed soo many great lectures in school but now I’m teaching so I’m making up for it.

That was a visually amazing movie.

That looks about as empty as when I saw The Brutalist the other day. Appreciated the silence.

Can’t believe it’s 42…just keeps reminding me I’ll be double nickels in a few weeks.

Reading “Modern Man” about the architect Le Corbusier.

Analogy for the next four years.

How did you know my plans?

I feel like I am the only one still buying architectural books? #booksky #architecture

“Almost” ? You mean it never did, other than for appearance only.

Happy to see you over here.

Please say this will be on McMansion Hell?

A stroll with Santiago - St. Nicholas National Shrine, #SantiagoCalatrava #architecture #NYC

Since I’m an architect I’ll pick the house, I know to stay in my lane.

For my first post on Bluesky I might as well say I have a slight addiction to sketchbooks/notebooks this is a mere fraction of my monster stack of unused books.

So hello all, I’m Cormac an architect, educator and a podcaster (been doing it over 12 years) even a combat veteran archispeakpodcast.com
