... 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.

CAPONE'S MIAMI MANSION:

... Any of you Trash Canners in the market for a Miami Mansion on Palm Island? - Slightly used with a period remodel and a little bit of Mob History??? Well, if you were then you would be in luck then as Al Capone's former home is back on the market and up for grabs.


BUT...Here are three of the better photos - For brevity's sake:




In case you are curious, no, it is not haunted - Well according to the listing it is not haunted anyway - But it does have a Grotto...So, I guess that is pretty cool.

Call me for the House Warming Party...I will bring the Ruffles - After all, they not only have ridges but they go great with dip.

PEACE,
Hot Mama
