Interests

I've long loved invisible/hidden/unbuilt cities. World's Fairs, city blueprints, the future as seen by 1980s Popular Mechanics—all of that. Which is why I'm overjoyed by this:

Archigram

The University of Westminster has taken the collective output of the 60s architectural group Archigram and put it all online for our perusal and wonderment. I've just started diving into it, but it's just fantastic. Even if you don't geek out over this kind of thing, the pure aesthetics are undeniable.
