Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

architecture can aim at eternity for all it wants, but it's not going to make it. XP

i missed the first large group of the year...i should have let someone know.

B and J and i finally decided to enter the design competition last night. it's a collaboration between beyond traditional borders and the school of architecture. we have until 11:59pm on sunday to design a portable clinic for (maybe actual) use in third world countries.
it's a neat idea - more like industrial design than architecture.
what's neatest, though, is being able to work on it with B and J.
every team (and actually, the entire school of architecture) is united in spirit - the spirit of good design, of ambition, and of hard work. but I know this is the only team defined by its unity in Spirit with a capital S. the winning in itself is not our goal, and that makes the process and presentation entirely different. it's exciting!
