Crosley Constrictor

CINCINNATI - It's been an age, but after a long hiatus this summer the rapturous duo of architecture 2.0 is back. As many of you may recall this blog was originally set up as a way to document exercises in generative design for an independent study taken through our beloved college of DAAP . The result of this course was a project done with a building on campus, everybody's favorite: Crosley tower. Le Corbusier once described architecture using these words: “Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.”

We're not sure if Crosley is exactly what he had in mind. Anyway, what we've produced probably would not fall into that description either, but we've decided to try and add to the discussion (and maybe the irony) anyway.

Enjoy.
