John HILL, Author of Archidose

Even though Hill brings a daily insight of New York’s finest of the art, design and architecture scene, the main focus of the blog however, is how much diversity Hill has to offer. Hill, provides a wide variety of writing styles on his blog. They range from book reviews, personal experiences at art exhibitions, to the newest and coolest architectural project in town and case studies supported by statistical facts and data. Most of his posts in which Hill writes are explicit, with clear views and opinions expressed about a project or the subject of the post. However, there are a couple of posts every so often offering implicit messages, leaving readers to ponder about what he wrote. When making a standpoint or a view on his posts, Hill is careful to further explain and back up any claims or views with evidence through photographs, personal experiences, data, statistics, and interviews and so on.

Being a reader of this blog, a rather religious one i must add, it is definitely the visuals and also the content of his post which attracts me and draws me into reading more. His posts are short and direct. Yet honest and appealing. I would definitely encourage you to read ArchiDose and you don't even have to be in the arts or architecture industry. Even looking for a easy read after a long tiring day at work, ArchiDose is your blog to go to.
