Comments on Lead Pencil Wins the Rome Prize

I think you mean Pantheon, not Parthenon.

isn't the Parthenon in Athens?

either way: awesome news for Lead Pencil Studio! they certainly deserve it.

This a really cool post. Jen, you aiiiight- i get all my theons mixed up, some say tomahto some say...

i'm mainly jealous, but this does nothing to solve the issue of affordable housing.

Ack! Yes, duh, Pantheon.

where do you live Max? i talked to three homeless people on the street today. i'll bring em over later, if you're true to your cause.

hi max,

i don't think that affordable housing is actually an architectural problem but a political one. it is not really up to architects to solve social ills, that would be assigning them more power than they actually have. your comment is similar to pointing a finger at a still life painter and blaiming him or her for world hunger. cultural workers like architects, artists, or writers may be able to examine and name a problem that might move those who can do something about it to act. really we are trying to make the world a more compelling place to live, whatever that might mean.
