... 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.

"INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN..."


... Man, this one hurts.

#RestInPeace to my all-time favorite Musician, #TomPetty (1950-2017) - Gone yesterday, and far too soon, at 66 years old.

JANE, GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!!!

... Rest in peace to Mr. Gin D. Wong - Probably one of your lesser-known famous Architects of the 20th Century; but I guarantee you will recognize his work.

Naturally, he was best known for the 'Theme Building' at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) - More affectionately referred to as 'The Space Ship' or "Hey, check out that weird thing!"



But you may not have known this - His design style was the main influence for the architecture illustrated in the animated program 'The Jetsons' - Here is a little more on that in the following brief article:


... Like I said, lesser known; but, hey you remember 'The Jetsons' right?

94 - Here is to one hellova' life.

COBAIN...DOOD, CRAP:

... Twenty-three years ago today at 171 Washington Boulevard East in Seattle, Washington Kurt Cobain committed suicide by way of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.

Locked in the pretty-much-empty Green House above the detached Garage in his Pacific Northwest Home his Heroin Addiction, Bipolar Disorder, Depression and Fame had taken its toll.

Sad.

Twenty-three years have come and gone.

Here are is a link to some photos of the Crime Scene:

Here is one of his Heroin Kit:


In the years following many debated the validity of the Police Report and the information surrounding Cobain's death; plenty of it centered around these grainy Polaroid Photos - But that - That is not what this post is about.

I am merely here offering memorial to yet another troubled soul who left this world too soon.

Rest in Peace.

Come as you are.
