Creator: This site was created and is maintained by Chuck LaChiusa as a public service. I am available as a tour guide and speaker. See My Public Talks and Tours Calendar  and Power Point Presentations List and  Biographical articles

Guiding notions:  I see architecture as an art form.  Like films, the form is complicated because it involves a great deal of collaboration.  In a sense, this website is a search for beauty.
