My Orange County Government Center 'transformation' images are included in an exhibition opening this week in Boston, MA. I have mixed emotions — I'm thrilled to be included in this exhibition but sad that the general attitude toward brutalism is almost universal destruction. As this show highlights, there are many excellent examples of the architectural style that should have been saved or more carefully redesigned.

If you are in Boston, please check out the exhibition. Full info below:
