I am John Martin, a former architecture and philosophy student at Northeastern University and current farmer, adventurer, and mad-scientist at Hawkshead Farm in Connecticut.

I graduated from the architecture program at Northeastern in May, 2010. As an architecture student, most of my time was spent in the studio, but I did manage to escape long enough to be a part of Northeastern’s Engineers Without Borders, which was, in a way, the mistress equivalent to my married life with architecture. While living in Boston, I was lucky enough to work at Perry and Radford Architects in Cambridge for six months, and at Machado Silvetti Associates in Boston for a year.

I love to work on projects, and because I have a wide range of interests I often have more things happening than than is generally healthy. I play music, I take photos, I read everything, I watch Hindi movies, I work on the farm, I fix motorcycles (sort-of), I travel, I make art, and I love all of it.

About This Site

After spending a lifetime in a cave, sometimes its nice to get out and stretch your legs once in a while, and see what all the fuss is about. This blog is my attempt to document ideas, projects, and discoveries that I stumble through in the future. Generally, I think it is a safe bet to expect posts to be within the realm of architecture/culture/design/philosophy/homesteading/art.

As you may have noticed, rumblings.org has a few sections. Work is a selection of architecture I have done while in school, and acts as a working digital portfolio. Rumblings is my formal blog; it is where anything and everything that I am doing is posted, including my architecture work – it is, as you would suspect, the heart of rumblings.org. The About Me page is pretty self explanatory, and if I started describing the About This Site page, things might begin to get a bit heavy. And finally, Blog is a link rumblings.org’s little cousin, blog.rumblings.org, which serves as an informal place to post inspiration via images, videos, and text.
