BUSTER KEATON AND ARCHITECTURE
In Electric House (1922) and One Week (1920), Buster Keaton confronts two issues that architects still grapple with: the holy grail of manufactured housing and the mixed blessings of technology.
The films may be 90 years old, but the questions are not.
KUHN RIDDLE ARCHITECTS is a studio of fifteen people located in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts. Since 1977, we have provided architecture, master planning, and interior design services to a diverse range of clients throughout the Pioneer Valley and beyond. Project types include: college and school facilities, custom homes, multi-family communities, offices, retail stores, public buildings and worship spaces. Our work encompasses both new construction and renovation.
We are not a large firm, but we aren't small either; no firm in Western Massachusetts employs more licensed architects, and four of us are LEED® APs. For KRA, design and construction are collaborative processes that succeed when all stakeholders work together and have ownership of the finished product. By listening closely to our clients, we are able to create sustainable buildings and spaces that both integrate with and enhances their context.
