But rather than being tied to philosophy or theory like the work of many of the style's proponents, it was an approach informed specifically by the context of Los Angeles, where his family emigrated from Canada in 1947. Gehry designed his own home in Santa Monica. Photo by IK's World Trip.

Kongjian Yu, FASLA, sketches the concept for Chinatown Park in Boston in 2003. Based on my observation when I went back to China in 1997, I was already informed at that time that the waterways had been destroyed, the wetlands were filled and polluted, and there was heavy pollution.”

Part of my role as architect is to be an interpreter and translator – to listen to what the client is saying and then to digest, interpret, prioritize and re-issue that information back to them. After that, we can act as caretaker to a certain extent and try and distill the many visions and ideas down to their essence.

I’ve sketched up a typical bedroom to help illustrate what I mean. In this sketch, I’ve rotated the bed 180° so that the head of the bed is opposite the entry and when the occupants are lying in bed, they have a clear view of the door. It’s not an informed schedule of design goals and intents.

We were NEVER given the hourly budget information until the project was completed.

This can require artifice–things like aligning “storage” closets; sketching in bookcase runs down hallways, and so on. Accessible bathroom design sizing is almost second-nature for me from commercial design. Fifteen, twenty years from now, being able to waiden a hallway 12″ in a simple step will win praise.

It is extremely complicated and we are using Rhino and Grasshopper (fancy modeling software) to help generate and document the design – I’ll show it on the site here when I have a bit more information to present. That’s right, I said “ summer interns. Ours isn’t in phases but rather room by room.

They can serve as vehicles for exploring ideas, as in Benedikt's book on the Kimbell; they can serve as repositories for the many sketches, drawings, and photographs produced about a place; or they can exist somewhere in between on such a spectrum between critical analysis and laudatory presentation.

As I was reviewing my list with my wife, she informed me that slow cookers are old school and these days, the smart buy is on the “Instant Pot” I clearly took this as a challenge because I then spent the next hour reading articles comparing instant pot versus slow cookers. I am a pro (or at least now I can look like one).

I think through drawing and sketching, for others they might turn towards computer software … I don’t really care. I think that extra time gave me a little bit of maturity (not much) and life experience to inform my work. I know I believe it. I like to draw I’m not restricting this to pen or pencil on paper.

Do not place any personal information (like your name) on your digital submission – I want to keep things fair during the judging process. Reference information? I’ve been sketching ideas when I have needed a break from drafting my thesis. It looks like we will have at least two winners, possibly three.

One of the really amazing things that working in BIM (Building Information Modeling) is that you are taking the time to create a real 3-dimensional model of the house and there are few things that you can’t discover. I still think sketch up is way easier, but just for 3d views.

It is crucial to work on the project from the preliminary sketch to the smallest details, as this is the only way to create a whole experience rather than merely architecture as scenery. Rather than being engaged with forms, we focus on feelings and emotions our buildings create. presledek. © presledek. Skupaj arhitekti, d.o.o.

This fact goes against the occasional sirens over the irrelevance and anachronistic nature of monographs in our digital age, with free access ( for now ) to voluminous amounts of information on buildings and architects readily available online.
