There are little sketches mixed up with diary entries and general musings on life. I found a sketch of mortar on a “spot board” and a piece of decorative brickwork, including a brick-on-edge roll. I really enjoy looking back at the little sketches from my time training as a bricklayer and then working on building sites.

Architecture Here and There

Once I arrived, I told the secretary that I was interested in architecture and would love to see Mr. Zeckendorf’s private office if possible. I did not say I was an architecture student, which I certainly was not. I wrote about her the day after she died in this column for the Journal, “ Sketching my mom of moms.”

All that notwithstanding, this is an important article for architecture students and their parents to read. It talks about the process – maybe even the realization – of what it takes to get through architecture school. Architects communicate through drawing – we aren’t making art.

Seen here at the Art Cafe in Avondale. Returning to architecture school as a mature student I was pursuing the idea of architecture as the reflection of a particular time and place, often subliminally expressed. In 2001 I had a little three piece blues band in Zimbabwe. A page from my history pack of 1992.

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old.
