What I Am Reading Part 2.
A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around a Barnes And Noble waiting for a friend. I was browsing the fiction area and came upon the novel "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. A grad school friend of mine , Julie, suggested that I read this a few years ago. I always meant to but there was always something else I was reading at the time. So I finally decided to pick it up. I have read about 100 pages into it. So far I really like it. I have always thought of myself as a junior architect in the sense that I am always aware of the effect that buildings have on the environment. One of the reasons why I chose to specialize in urban geography was because I was fascinated by the interaction between humans and the built environment. This isn't an easy read but if you are interested in the philosophy of objectivism or architecture its definitely worth the read.
