... 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.

#ARCHTECTPROBLEMS AND #SHIT PART 1:

... I am going to start a new mini-theme within this Blog - "Architect Problems/Shit Architects Say" - Should be fun, right?

Think of it like as Architectural-themed one-liners from Architects, Clients and Consultants...So, here goes - First try:

"You know, I talked to my Cousin and he took a year of drafting in High School and he thinks you should move the [insert object here] to the [insert proposed new location here] because it's more feng shui."

Ummm...No.

#ArchitectProblems
#ShitArchitectsSay

Peace,
B.
