Dwell Design Leader: Adam Kalkin

At a time when many architects are content to peddle a pat routine, Adam Kalkin is a truly original thinker. His work is industrial grit mixed with poetic touches and a dash of performance art.

Although I like his work and his attitude, I do not understand why he is so compelled to build houses out of containers that look like they were built out of shipping containers. ISBUs would become such an easier building material to use if architects would use them as a basic building material and create houses that are functional and look better than one built from traditional materials.

At first I wanted to turn off the sound. But the design is so freaking great I had to turn it back on. The illy house omg. Even the simple stair well; brilliant addition.

Adam is by far my favorite architect! This is a great video that gives me even more insight on his creativity. Brilliant work!

This dude is just a regular guy, showing he has the industry "vernacular" down pat and making fun of pseudo intellectuals all at the same time. He had me laughing.

Dude is hilarious.
