#69 Make time for social interactions.

You might not think this one is important, but you have to make time to mingle with friends and even strangers.  For example, I just went to a bar and chatted with a local in my downtown area.  It was really cool to hear different ideas and disciplines from someone outside of studio.  I actually used the ideas we talked about in my current project and it went over very well. Architecture is about people, so make sure you continue to sharpen your craft by surrounding yourself with a variety of them.

Net Center by Aurelio Galfetti

Located adjacent a public square, the tower acts as a landmark and helps give the oversized square a more balanced scale.

Lynn Davis, modern views of ancient treasures

Lynn Davis is considered one of the most refined photographers on the American scene. All her photos are centred on the epiphany of places sacred to humanity: monumental tombs in the middle of the desert, temples rising up like stalagmites from the plains, and hieratic figures emerging from the mountains. These are the images that the photographer prefers today in her constant search for a place “outside time”, one that can transmit to humanity - today as much as yesterday - a sense of the absolute.
