New York's hottest new club is

I'm speaking at Jana Thursday August 18th, 2016 about "Brutalist web design", architecture, and art stuff!

This is sold out, but stay posted for some writings.

Brutalism is an architectural style that took off in the '50s. The phrase, coined by Le Corbusier, comes from the French phrase béton brut, meaning raw concrete. This ugly-but-lovable style was popular for decades. You'll often see the brutalist style in government built structures. The Boston City Hall is a prime example. How is the Boston City Hall architecture at all related to "brutalist" web design? The raw, purposefully abrasive style has crept into portfolios, micro sites, and even Bloomberg News. This talk will focus on identifying the similarities between web and architecture, two forms of art craft, and identify trends of action and reaction in web design.
