I recently moved from Oregon State to Boston to Study @ an art college here for a semester, and am hoping to explore whatever is left of the Mass Kirkbrides, though I fear that there isn't much-
I am considering going into architecture as a career, and have been designing my dream house for the past decade (If I am ever to have the means) and much of the overall scheme is based upon Kirkbride Design, which I hope to learn much more about...
I hope to pay homage to these lost edifices through contemporary design. and your photographs have done much to influence my thinking.
If you are interested in locations on the west coast, please let me know, I know of several hospitals (some looking kirkbride'ish though I am not absolutely sure if that is how they would be classified), and some cottage plans...
Given your mobility, you are likely to already have connections there, nevertheless, feel free to let me know...I think that they may have attributes that would satiate your developed tastes...
Till Then
I remain,
Mica and Mercury
Are you a dual personality? Just wondering.
Do you know any cool sites near Portland? The main one I know of ( Old St. Vincents off nw 25th ) was demolished & developed soon after high school.
