Sundowner "I had the extraordinary feeling that all these cars were gathering for some special reason I didn't understand." - Crash (1996) by David Cronenberg

Graham Brenton McKay is an independent architecture writer, critic, blogger, and lecturer currently living in Dubai. His blog, Misfit’s Architecture, links an informal network of practitioners, instructors and students around the world. McKay deals with universal themes such as architecture’s relationship with art, nature, technology, society and education. Refusing to let the idea of social responsibility in architecture die, McKay highlights the foibles and dissects the statements of architecture media stars and the self-styled avant-garde. With equal regularity, he celebrates those misfit architects whose contribution to better performing buildings has never been fully appreciated, Josef Frank being his most recent honoree. McKay is currently a lecturer at Department of Architectural Engineering at the University of Sharjah.
