Adventures in Architecture

See the world through the eyes of an architect. Join us as we explore the world around us. Locally and across the globe. Architecture transcends buildings.

Architecture is people, places and things that interact, affect and impact the built environment. It includes culture and customs. History and science. Nature. And even food and drink.

From Paris travel tips and Walt Disney World to the Art Deco architecture of Chicago and local old house tours, we cover all things architecture where ever they may be.
