Thoughts, ramblings, and mental abstractions of an individual emerging in the Architecture profession.
It has now been 15 years since I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree, 13 years since I got my Master’s degree. Oooof! I can’t believe that is actually true. Wow, after only my first sentence I feel old. At least I still have my hair. It’s been quite an adventure getting to the point I …

Do you remember back in school when you went to your studio and were given some sort of amazing project to work on? Ok, maybe at the time it didn’t feel so amazing, but whatever it was, you were supposed to study and research the bageeziz out of it until you could rationalize every single decision …

"The key to success is to give it all away." I have no idea who gets the credit for that quote, and up until I started thinking about this post, I really wasn't sure how it applied to me. I mean I get the gist of it, but working at a larger firm, I …

I'm sure you've seen a bunch of lists about what an architect would love to get for a present on that other holiday. Well, I can all but guarantee that this will be the first on what to get an architect for the eight crazy nights of Chanukah. After months of research consisting of thinking …
