Thoughts, ramblings, and mental abstractions of an individual emerging in the Architecture profession.
Have you ever had that one particular place that you always wished you could go back too? That one place you could see yourself spending the rest of your life at? That one place that you could visit over and over and never get sick of? I'm pretty sure most of the architects I know …

So, another #ArchiTalks post is upon us, and Bob has definitely picked a doozy this time. 'Crafty' Really?!? Crafty?!? For the past couple of weeks I have been racking my brain about this one and what keeps popping into my head, thanks a lot Bob, is Martha Stewert. So I decided to try a different …

It was an interesting day to say the least. A few days ago I took a site visit to a new project we are working on, pretty normal right, only difference this time, was the project is about 275 miles away. It started out with an early morning commute to Love Field, ooof, Dallas. That …
