The soil in my area of practice tends to be expansive because it contains a healthy dose of clay, which expands and contracts as moisture enters the equation. Remove water due to hot and dry conditions, and the soil contracts. This doesn’t mean that everyone who graduated in my era could sketch – far from it.

I want to go to architecture school but I don’t really enjoy making models–the process is quite frustrating for me… should all aspiring architects be passionate about model making? We had college architectural interns make this model – they are in their model-making prime! And this is a really great blog.:)

I discovered that two of them – JR and Charles King – were enrolled in law school.

When we receive a contract for a new project, we all want to jump right into designing. The most successful projects though are the ones where we fully understand the people living and working within the architecture we design. It’s our nature as architects to want to solve the problems before us.
