Life of an Architect – Year’s Two (2011) and Three (2012) I will admit that in year two I fell off the writing pace I had set in year one, but not by much. In 2011 I wrote 159 articles and in 2012 that trend continued … I only wrote 96 articles. My favorite blog post of 2011 is: Do You Want to be an Architect?
