Adding to the development of an (unhealthy?) admiration for Rem…

I took it upon myself this weekend to learn Grasshopper (formerly the explicit history tool), a new plugin from McNeel (Rhino).
All I can say is that the plugin is incredibly easy, and poised to change many things surrounding the field of architecture. It’s absolutely brilliant. While there are other products on the market that work [...]

For my wedding this past august, I worked to design a few elements. Since we were conducting the ceremony in a single (nasty, ball-)room we needed a flexible way to create a more intimate space for the ceremony, and a more open space for the reception.

I do realize what month it is…
For this project (which I presented in December) we were fortunate enough to actually have a “client” - Living Classrooms, a Baltimore based NPO focused on educating “at risk” people of all ages. The program was a design exploration for a new center they are planning to build in [...]

I am all too aware that there has been little activity on here in the past month. This is not an indicator of lack of work, it probably should have been raised a flag for a lack of clarity on my part for the procession of this project. The following will try to explain my [...]
