Wheels of Norman - David Sires

I went in this building one time to look at used cars. I like the design on the outside.  It has long windows and the roof has two different levels.  I also like how the roof hangs over the front door. 

Whataburger - David Sires

This is my favorite burger place.  I come here often and I always enjoy it.  I like the outside of the building because it is unique from all the other Whataburgers I have been to.  It is different because it has an OU logo on the outside and I think that is pretty cool.

Hickory Creek Mansion - John Chapman

Champ d'Or in Hickory Creek, TX is home to no one! Viewable from my high school this mega mansion is truly a sight a see. Driving past this 'home' makes you think you stepped inside of the Haunted Mansion because today the house's appearance is not majestic looking due to the brown grass that is uncut. The home was modeled from the famous France castle, Versailles. This mega mansion is another testimony to how things in Texas are bigger. TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE HOME HERE: http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mhj45hhhk/champ-dor-hickory-creek-tx/

Allen ISD Football Stadium - John Chapman

Its true, everything is Texas is bigger and especially goes for the football stadiums. In 2012 the fifth largest high school football stadium opened in Allen, TX with a capacity of 18,000. It is hard to imagine that a school district can sell out ally those seats just for a high school game, but they do it somehow. Pulling up to this stadium and campus itself makes you think you may actually be on a college campus. Allen High School has taken high school to the next level with adding state of the art music facility, video media, and of course its sports facilities.

Dallas Perot Museum - John Chapman

The Dallas Perot Museum, opened in 2013, is one of Dallas's most interesting buildings to structurally look at. Although you may not see this museum from the high way, driving through Dallas you cannot help, but stop and look at this building that resembles that of the Disney Hall in L.A.. The curvature of the building adds a unique twist to a building that without it would simply be a box with an interesting escalator system that protruded out of the side. If you are ever in Dallas this summer I suggest going inside this museum it is extremely fun and the building itself is remarkable.

Denton, TX Court House Building - John Chapman

This is the Denton, TX court house. Surrounding this building is an area known as Denton Square and is a place where many college students from UNT hang out. As the center building it is hard to miss such a building. To me this building reminds me of the mansion in Casper because the rock is very rounded and unorganized and the structure itself is very tall. Denton has a lot of old buildings, but this is one of its best.

My Blog - Dylan Alford

Howdy everyone,

In between my various duties this semester, I'd forgotten to post a link to my blog. Here it is in case anyone was interested:

http://architectureisahumanism.tumblr.com/

It has a couple pages of things, including the video that I made for class that didn't really pan out when projected. I hope you all enjoy the entries and maybe either reblog or subscribe to it, as I might continue to update it in the future.

Cheers,
Dylan
