what do the drawings say?

This is the first answer every architect gives to any question asked in their hearing, especially questions asked while a project is under construction.

no faux though

I don’t like fake things or fake people (see past post on masquerade).

must we – create the better?

This question has no single answer to define what is ‘better; but it comes up almost daily in my world as an architect.

sample please

Random samples used in recent projects…even the Unistrut.

There is a part of every architect’s and designer’s job that involves gathering material samples for their projects.

summer break

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day’s work
And you’re waiting there, not a care in the world…

architect as juggler

Your first thoughts might be directed towards the circus. You’re somewhat correct.

better side of green

I’m an architect and by definition that means that I believe in the better when it comes to our built environment and quite frankly in all aspects of our lives. This has to extend not only in the what, but how we discuss, practice and portray architecture. Sometimes, we let our frustrations show in an unpleasant manner.
