hey, that looks familiar.

Indie Rock Architecture

If you've ever been to an indie rock show, you know that the more apathetic you look, the better...it is the status quo. Here we are viewing the great work of Alvar Aalto. Inside, we know how lucky we are to be front row for such an amazing work. But, notice our cool, reserved demeanors on the outside. Take note, this is how you rock a building...

ps...nice booties, fede.

yesterday's stroll

the end of an era

for these six, last tuesday marked the end of a long, eventful education at rice university. above, you'll see the pros in action on their final review, followed by a series of celebration faces, the ones i've grown to love.

it has been a pleasure getting to know all of them, and i feel honored to have had the opportunity to share a studio (or two) with such badasses. seriously, keep your eye on these guys! they'll be sprinkled all about within months...namely, california, maryland, oregon, texas, and hopefully paris.

congratulations,y'all!

still standing after the 7 hour crit

one day jitters

if i ever open my own office, i'm gonna call it FOCUS...you know, just to remind myself.
