When I saw this building, I knew I not only had to blog about it.
I had to start a new blog category. A new category for all the buildings I come across that reach into my very soul and makes me gasp, “Whoa. I love this building.”
(So that’s what I named the category. “I love this building.")

This is Triptyque’s building on Columbia Street.
They even have a video of section cuts.

And a photo timeline of its construction.
What I love the most is the way the front steps line up and become the facade. The vertical surface and the horizontal surface ARE THE SAME SURFACE. And you can practically WALK UP THE WALL.

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
