My Studio-Mates

Media Credit: Blake Hamilton, Oregon Daily Emerald

The trio pictured above are classmates of mine in studio this fall. We're studying "Fringe Urbanism" and are designing medium-to-high density housing developments for a blighted site in Phoenix AZ. But that's not what I'm writing about. They are featured on the cover of the Oregon Daily Emerald today above a story about a government study on depression. Evidently, among the major careers, "Architects, engineers and surveyors found to suffer the least from depression."

Who knew? Maybe there is something to all this hell we put ourselves through. Then again... if you never get to stop working, who has time to reflect on hour depressing your life really is? Living in oblivion is GREAT!

St. Ignatius: Materials & Light



A bit of inspiration from the St. Ignatius Chapel in Seattle, WA. I may be headed that way again this winter... I'm looking forward to it as St. Ignatius is ALWAYS worth another look.
