While it might be a bit of an overstatement, it has as much to do with me (if not more so) that writing about architecture in general. If I'm going to write intelligently and critically about a building, then I need to visit it. I've learned to dig beneath the surfaces of photos, but the experiences that can only be had by navigating the spaces, touching the surfaces and so forth are increasingly necessary for me in appreciating a building to its fullest. I'll acknowledge that "writing from a distance" can be a contribution to discourse (the root of the weekly website was "ideas" more than experience from the beginning) but not necessarily for me.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and the kind words.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-59806318562970928252014-01-22T03:15:26.774-05:002014-01-22T03:15:26.774-05:00Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo que haces y tu pas...Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo que haces y tu pasiĆ³n por la Arquitectura ... has conseguido ser un gran blog de referencia !!!Guillermohttp://www.gesarquitectos.esnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-57088632300293112032014-01-22T00:33:35.544-05:002014-01-22T00:33:35.544-05:00Phew.

It is a good thing we still have daily doses. <br /><br />To make a comment about your comment on writing about a building without visiting it, I think it is not entirely a disservice. It all depends on the approach to writing about an unvisited building. The very act of writing from a distance, just as you experience the building from that distance, is a contribution to the architectural discourse in itself.
