I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills. ↗

Most of our cities built since the war are bland. They're modernist, they're cold, and now architects want to go back to that. ↗
