Art Is All We Have: In the Face of Diplomatic Idiocy

While our leaders disfunction each other and cram themselves down into fishy niches; while they  disorient their preoperatives and negate their misinterpretations....why not have some fun with the, "Not that!"  We've been working with some ideas that we haven't had yet....something  about the  "modest squares."

Rudolph Weaver, FAIA, 1880-1944


"In 1925 he came to the University of Florida to establish the curriculum in architecture and to serve as the first architect of the Board of Control. During nineteen years of exemplary leadership, he formed the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, pioneered its curricula in art, landscape architecture, and building construction - the Nation's first, and successfully directed for the Board of Control the design and erection of many notable buildings throughout the State."
