My name is John Senisi. I am an Architect. But not your everyday, run-of-the-mill Architect: I also construct buildings.

Architects used to be Master Builders but chose to demote themselves to a lesser position in the development process by refusing to be truly knowledgeable about the details of construction and the relationship of design and cost.

This is a photo essay of the construction of a new 6-story apartment building in Manhattan, NY, no easy feat as you will soon learn. It is also the story of constructing a practical, energy-efficient building by an Architect who has been constructing energy-conscious buildings since 1973, long before it became fashionable to call buildings “Green” or “Sustainable”.
