eureka springs

Last spring I got to travel to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to attend a friend’s wedding. The ceremony was in the Thorncrown Worship Center which sits next to the famous Thorncrown Chapel designed by internationally renowned architect Euine Fay Jones. The Thorncrown chapel received a national AIA Honor Award in 1981 and is fourth on the AIA's Top 10 list of twentieth century structures.

This summer I got to travel to Chicago with a few friends. I was impressed with the architecture and took several photographs.

Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Robie House was probably the first ever residence to be designed with a steel beam to achieve a cantilevered effect.
