But that’s not really the entire story is it? This was where I really learned how to draw but before you old folks say “that’s right!” ” and you younger folks look at this as old-timers syndrome, I’m not saying that we drew better, I’m just saying it was different. Window tags _in plan??_

I have no doubt that the stories our client will tell folks about his house will include more than just “this is white oak flooring” or “this is a pier and beam foundation.” I try and keep things light and share a thing or two about what I think I know.

Surviving Architecture School Jason Burk Long ago, I had a “moment” in 3rd year at Ball State Universtiy; I was discouraged because my work was pretty average and nothing like some of other folks, even though I enjoyed a pretty good aptitude and deep passion for the field. I wanted desperately to have better ideas!

While some folks are really against people wearing headphones in an office environment, architectural offices typically aren’t one of them. Despite having several others, including those with far higher price tags, this one is still my favorite and the one pen I have that never fails to receive some sort of comment of admiration.

In it, one of the questions I was asked was “ Tell us a short story about one of your biggest challenges.” ” Obviously they don’t know me very well, I don’t tell short stories … I’m more of a “tall tales” sort of person because I’m prone to hyperbole. It doesn’t work.

The easiest way to describe this is by telling a story: Many years ago there was an architect in town whose work I really admired. some folks need the amperage turned up and some do not. At worst, I find him an extremely frustrating person. I say good call. I try and keep things light and share a thing or two about what I think I know.

That’s Steve’s personal story. Having personal relationships, down to the folks responsible for maintenance, is really important to us. We would tag stone, draw it, do measurements, figure out how many cuts we were going to make, then come back to CAD to fit them in. That is true of everybody in the firm.”

These last two sketches got me in trouble with all you sharp-eyed folks. Again, this was a sketch that existed only long enough for me to have a conversation with one of the junior architects … that and for me to take a picture of it. This sketch is actually an earlier iteration of the 4th sketch in this post.

Now I won’t deny that watching a toilet get defenestrated from the second story into a mirror is highly entertaining, but it’s a shame to see so much waste when there are Habitat Re-Stores all over the country available that could save this stuff from filling up a landfill.

I am tired of seeing talented, hardworking folks give up because of all the barriers put in front of them for licensing. ” I know of several folks with MANY years of experience who can’t count it toward licensure because they hadn’t begun IDP before the rule change.

At least half of the meetings I attend, nothing is really happening other than the swapping of stories. One on hand, that’s okay because I’m the Pecos Bill of stories, but I simply don’t have the time for it anymore. I could see the folks who were only working on one or two jobs tuning out until their project came up.
