Bronze Age

Near noon on a summer day, the bronze handle to the door of the church is warm, as though all the parishioners who have ever entered left evidence of their touch.

Lunch Break

I just happened upon this scene when all the workmen had taken a lunch break. I rather fancy the pagoda-like quality of the staging, and the way the metal planking bounced light into the shadows.

Seems like everywhere I look there is evidence of waiting for better times.

In the Details

How successful the design of a building is often comes down to the details. How the architect has handled the parts of a building that we can relate to on a human scale; those smaller parts that bridge the size gap between human and the building as a whole.

The Little Things

Little Things © Steven Willard

Sometimes it’s the little things we remember about a building. Maybe it’s the door handles, or the tile work in the bathrooms. Perhaps it’s the light switches or the cabinet pulls in the kitchen. These are the little things down at the human scale where we can touch them, and they often speak to us in ways that are more meaningful than tall columns or dramatic arches and domed ceilings. This ornate offering is a detail of a gate post I came upon in Washington, Connecticut.
