... 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.

2 - ASU SUCKS - THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT:

... Whelp, this blows - Not sure if any of you are avid Google Loyalists like our family but apparently my Post about ASU last weekend has completely fallen into the First Level of Dante's Inferno (...that's Purgatory for those of who were not subjected to AP English in High School).

This happened at some point after it was originally published on Monday, September 22 and I am sure it had something to do with Google's Servers taking an odd and ill-planned big fat steaming DUMP the Monday after (...sorry, but I am sure I am not the only one who absorbed some serious static on my accounts until the late afternoon on the 23rd) - So for those of you that read the original Post and commented or +1'd - Thanks for that...

Anyway, yup the original Post is gone - I will be re-publishing it (...in as accurate a format as I can) immediatley - Hope those of you who did not read it initially will do so now.

I will keep the URL live so you can see it yourselves:

... AND - Here's a screen shot to the current state of the original link - Cheers:


PEACE - B.
