Now I'm really anxious to meet architect Harry Levine. The house he designed for Jeff Walz, now at Google, and featured in the October 2007 Dwell which arrived today, is exactly what "Steel City Modern" is all about. What beautiful modern architecture, rooted in Pittsburgh tradition. I love the use of the steel frame, prefinished sheathing and galvanized roof all from recycled scrap by Nucor.
By writing the steelcitymodern blog and by including readers and visitors in our own home remodeling journey, though, I hope to help introduce the power of good design and sustainability to such people as the visitor to Walz's home, who demanded of Levine, "Are you responsible for that godless building?"
