Disclaimer:
It would seem that some people may read this and
believe me to be an Architect. I am not. I am an intern. I
did go to Architecture school (Carleton School of Architecture)
and I do help architects with Architectural projects. Thus,
on my website, I use the term/word Architecture to define the
general field I am in... rather than using, say, Building.
Such as, "Building seems to fill all the voids..." That
just doesn't seem to explain it.
In my view, "Building" work can imply that I do spec-houses...
or simple drafting. Far from it. I enjoy helping architects
create spaces for living rather than just spaces with no meaning
or purpose to the human experience of life.
Thus, if you see the word "Architecture" or "Architectural" throughout
this website, please know that I am ONLY an Intern Architect.
I am not yet an architect even though I am close.

Intern Architectural work.
Each project done in 3D so everyone could see what it looked like... About
5 projects went out these 2 months. A busy time.
The portfolio will be updated later this year as I work on finding time
to redo the entire site.... (I always seem to say that, don't I...)

"It's an enormous error to believe that technology can somehow be
the content of education. We insist that everyone has to learn computer
technology, but when printing came in with Gutenberg and changed the production
and distribution of knowledge profoundly, nobody said that everyone should
learn to be a printer. Technical training is training in what is sure
to be obsolete soon anyway; it's self defeating, and it won't get you
through the next 60 years of your life. Training is simply learning
to fit in as a passive member of a structure. And that's the worst thing
for an uncertain, changing time."
