Absolutely unsure if I want to get involved in a forum. But here goes. Why? I'm a sucker for built things: photos of, the processes behind them . . .
My 1st life: way too much university (it's embarassing), way too many universities
My 2nd and current life:
- professional (architect, landscape + urban design)
- academic (professor)
- writer
- used to be an artist (painting and drawing) but I can't anymore: essential tremor
- that's right, an architect who can't draw (clients love it)
- lots of normal stuff like family/friends, kids, good food, travel, art, movies, dance (strictly watching), hiking, climbing, falling, kayaking, even gardening and all the other stuff
- often I just wish I was out mountain biking, which again means falling
Promise: no bullshit, no unproductive posting, aiming to be objective and hopefully informative and that's all (this might mean I will post infrequently).
Promise: I know a lot of the players from Victoria/Gulf Islands to Vancouver to the Okanagan (architects, developers and municipal types) and I will see if i can give a bit of an insider's perspective, so long as it is fair, not confidential, legal and otherwise appropriate.
Promise: maybe some humour, but this will be my one and last emoticon -
