reading >> building (in) the future



NOTE TO SELF: Master AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, 3dStudio, Rhinocerous, Digital Project, Archicad, and Maya...and, don't forget the countless plugins associated with these programs. (Though the full Adobe Creative Suite is not a part of this discussion- you'd do well to have them mastered as well.) Well, it seems that while I was braving the ups and downs of undergraduate studio, I did not master all of the above. What to do, what to do? 

What does the future hold for emerging intern architects and our licensed counterparts? Super excited about this book sharing my Nook space right now and getting some insight into the answers. Kenneth Frampton, Coren Sharples, Paolo Tombesi and Mark Goulthorpe are among the 34 contributors shedding light on how advancing technologies and production methods are reshaping the architects' role and relationships. (More on this to come.)

meet collaborative 13.


It's called Collaborative 13. Prepare yourself for things to come. From this desk to your screen, a collection of posts and musings regarding the wide world of architecture and sustainability. More specifically, those bits that pique my interest and keep me informed about my beloved field of study.
