My friend and I took a small road trip to a library that was an hour outside of our town. It was inside a seminary but still open to the public. The building is by Finnish designer Alvar Aalto in Mt. Angel, Oregon.

Not religious myself, but I’m a big fan of the architecture and quiet gardens surrounding it. The chapel itself was closed when I visited, and the glass walls acted as an uncanny barrier between myself and what seemed a space frozen in time—both separate and joined to the world outside of it.

A hand built stone dome in the middle of a small town parking lot. Honestly, I recommend the national historic places register in general. Find out what‘s going on around you. Take a day trip to a small town and see some silly strange thing. Historic Preservation is vital and wonderful and we should be visiting these places more!!!

Happy Wednesday! In honor of recently watching The Brutalist (highly recommend) I wanted to share my favorite brutalist building with ya’ll!
This is the Church of the Light built by Tadao Ando just outside Osaka in 1999. The material choice and size of the space creates this insanely ethereal feeling as the light spills in from the window..
My favorite part of this building is how simple yet impactful it is, and I recently did a project in school experimenting with light like Ando did!

and wonder why the hell they asked you to hang out? Like I just hung out with someone and they looked at their phone half the time and then asked me the most minimal stuff ever and then after 45 mins said “I have to go!” Like, damn girl you beat me to it

I was so tired and could barely stay awake for my friends DJ set but it ended up being really good and I’m so proud of them :)

isn't it crazy how when you get a drink in this cup it tastes 100% better than any other type of drinking vessel? You can have the same diet coke or whatever but if it comes in this cup it's going to be much more crisper and tasty. Shout out the Cambro 2000P156 much love
