Just for fun, I thought I’d push this blog along in a slightly less eclectic/personal bent and push it in a more architectural bent. I’m not sure exactly what it means, but I’m guessing I’ll find out soon enough, maybe after three months, mor maybe its will peter out long before then. In any case, I hope to have a more interesting run than my previous attempt at a weekly friday post. I will try to post on a semi-regular schedule, let’s say at least every other day though I’m thinking maybe even 5 days a week (!).
Since everyone who reads this, mom, dad, sister and gradschool buddy knows who I am, there isn’t much to say in terms of introduction, but I’m gonna do it anyways. I’m a registered architect in Texas. I have a portfolio here that needs a little work. Currently I’m working for Ziegler Cooper Architects, in the multi-family studio. After producing a majority of the construction documents for an 8 story midrise apartment complex in Houston, I am now doing construction administration on that project as well as a similar project near by. My previous experience was in single family residential, additions and remodels, and yes I think I really do enjoy working on residential projects.
As I’ve stated before, I like it when projects run into reality, so I am typically a fan of buildings that manipulates constraints to create something interesting and delightful. But then again I’m a modernist so I do love the occasional iconic building, though not nearly as much as many of my peers. I love my work and I love buildings, but what happens in them is where life happens.
