When confronted with change, for some it provides a constructive, life-changing opportunity. For others, however, change brings about a downward spiral with potentially lethal consequences.

I want to go and see what is going on, but the Mrs.Berntson has demolished ,most of the bookcase. And that was my cue to leave!

One of the most intriguing works of art to me is Robert Smithson’s art piece, the Spiral Jetty. When I saw that I always wondered what it would be like to walk on that piece.

In contrast to these ancient earthbound types, the Cape Schanck and Medhurst houses are based on a typology that defies architectural tradition and history. Rather than grounded, they appear airborne. The Cape Schanck House is a black elongated rectilinear…
