Begun during my adventures overseas, the Female Expat Project began as a collection of artworks about female expatriates and their original ideas about place. On the flip side of expatriates' nomadic lifestyles are contemporary nesting instincts—also explored in this blog. Really it's a publicly available sketchbook in the cloud supporting my artwork. http://joelledietrick.com

Brutalism is hideous. I live in a Brutalist "Chrushevka" apartment building in Moscow. The faux-colonial stuff is quaint and gives things a home-town feel - think Alexandria, Virginia. Most people like it. Personally I go for Beaux-Arts "City Beautiful" Movement buildings like Grand Central Station in NYC.
Both of those buildings are boring. The top one because it's clumsy, grey and devoid of all character. The bottom one because it's flat, pretentious and pseudo-colonialist.
don't agree - the first one is not boring at all
