... 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.

SAN FRANCISCO CA, 2005:

... Snaps from a family vacation to San Francisco for New Year's Eve in 2005 - Specifically, our day trip to Alcatraz which probably ranks up there with one of the coolest things I have done and THAT is saying something - (Left to right, top to bottom) - 1.) Our navigator during the boat ride over...Note the city in background 2.) The fireplace and building shell of the old Warden's Mansion that was burned during the Native American Occupation of the island during the early 1970's. 3.) Seagull at the pier 4.) View back towards the Bay Bridge from The Rock 5.) The Rock 6.) San Francisco as viewed from Alcatraz; imagine having that view everyday while being locked-up...Crazy 7.) Structural beams and columns in the downstairs bathing facility 8.) More Seagull love.

Cheers...B.
