... The title of this blog has to do with a Will Bruder quote I heard while attending the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) during the Fall of 1999 - "Learn to master the trash can and you might become something" - It really resonated with me and has stuck with me to this day. I suppose for me the concept hit hard that although you can discard an idea, concept, sketch, design, whatever for a certain project you may be able to revisit it at a later date under different circumstances - In other words designs never die, they evolve, they hibernate, they circle-back but they never die...Or maybe he was just telling us to quit our ideas of becoming Architects and to go live in a public park somewhere; which, given the current state of the industry probably would not have been such a bad idea...

That is what this Blog will be for me - With over a decade in the industry I have come to realize that what I thought I would be doing on a daily basis and what I actually do are pretty darn different - BUT - I still have ideas, I still have hopes and I still have my creativity; So, I figured this would be a good outlet...I will share my thoughts on work and the industry as well as whatever moments of creativity I can muster - And, yes, at the direction of my Wife I will keep the swearing to an absolute minimum.

Cheers...B.

CLIENTS:

... Had a pretty awesome day today actually - It is amazing how well (...I think) I do with clients...Especially my Education Clients; which of course are 99% of them. I really think that my family's background in education helps me work with not only educators but also administrators; it is a delicate balance - AND - My love of the construction process seems to also help me with District's Facility Departments...Such a great meeting this morning with Facilities and our ID; then followed it up this afternoon with a productive, active and involved Steering Committee Meeting - What will tomorrow hold? - Will I draw something?
