Fentress Bradburn
One principle underpinning the design of Fentress Bradburn is that no consistent look is imposed. The firm's buildings are extremely divergent, depending on place and purpose. In large-scale works such as airports, the architecture often is based on a dr

Fentress Bradburn Architects
"Regional contextualism is a reaction against the growing homogeneity of cities around the world, and Fentress Bradburn is the American architectural firm that has experimented most consistently with this approach to design. Much of their work has been in Colorado and other Western American locations, but the firm has taken new projects in Central America and Southeast Asia, where the architects will continue their research into place and how it should shape modern architecture." "Influenced by modern architecture, the humanist ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright, environmental concerns, and their fascination with state-of-the-art technology, Fentress Bradburn has compiled an interesting body of wor...
Airport Aura
Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, the emergence of airports as gateways for their cities has turned into one of the most important architectural undertakings. Ever since the first manned flight by the Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17th 1903, utilitarian sheds next to landing strips on cow pastures evolved into a completely new building type over the next few decades – into places of Modernism as envisioned by Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright (who themselves never built an airport), to eventually turn into icons of cultural identity, progress and prosperity. Many of these airports have become architectural branding devices of their respective cities, regions...

Cultural Sustainability in Rural Communities
There has been a recent expansion of interest in cultural approaches to rural communities and to the economic and social situation of rurality more broadly. This interest has been particularly prominent in Australia in recent years, spurring the emergence of an interdisciplinary field called 'rural cultural studies'. This collection is framed by a large interdisciplinary research project that is part of that emergence, particularly focused on what the idea of 'cultural sustainability' might mean for understanding experiences of growth, decline, change and heritage in small Australian country towns. However, it extends beyond the initial parameters of that research, bringing together a range ...
An Ode to Hemmingway. Life is a Story - story.one
Denial Cho is a pastor from Church. He decrypted the secret that people can live without the mediator. He believes, that with freedom, creativity and procativity we can create a society in which people respect each other, live a balanced life in harmony with their neighbours. It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Humans usually don't trust each other, especially not without fear. Naively thinking his discovery would be welcomed with open arms by his family and friends, Denial Cho instead finds himself confronted by hurt and betrayal.
