... 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.

GO HOME AUTOCAD - YOU'RE DRUNK:

... Dear, AutoCAD - How I hate thee - You are the bane of so many Architects' lives...Random Polylines, Fatal Errors, Unhandled Access Violations and Unhandled Exceptions all leading to the mysterious Autodesk® Error Report - Which, let us be honest here, never actually get sent into Autodesk® for some odd reason (frustration, anger, pure disdain, etc...).

Screen shots of this type of Super Fun Panda Time:





... Dear AutoCAD - How I hate thee.

... And these types of shenanigans always seems to happen when we are under a deadline - Just make sure you have your Autosave set properly or your life will be a form of extra special torture.
