Tis the season for Thesis Projects and I gotta say …”Bravo!”
Somebody didn’t play Frisbee in the quad at all this semester…

Hope you are able to enjoy architecture month more than I have. Things are picking up, so the social calendar is taking a hit (ok, massive beating).

Cool video for those into Mid Century Modern.

I won’t be able to make this tonite.   If you are in Boulder, I would check it out.

I get a few resume’s every week with cover-letter’s detailing the tough position a lot of young talented architects are in as a result of the long pro-longed recession and the damage its doing to the architecture profession.  Its pretty astounding the talent that is out there considering it was so hard to find any talent a few years ago.  I remember thinking  it seemed if you were remotely interested in architecture, could print to and change the paper in a large format printer you were “hired”  in the heady days of  loose financing.

Since I can’t afford to hire anyone myself  I thought I would post some opportunities  that would help those out of work stay relevant while on the search for a new career opportunity.  I came across this video promo for Architecture for Humanity.  I signed up today to donate my services remotely.  Hell, I have weeks and days where I’m crazy and then I have days where I am staring at the wall so I figured it would be a great way to meet new people in the profession and do some meaningful work on some meaningful projects.

Architecture for Humanity also has some onsite opportunities that require longer 6 month commitments.  I think architecture for humanity could provide new project experience and bridge the gap in the experience between paying gigs on your resume.   Check it out when you get a chance.

Sorry for the gap in posts this past week. It’s been a crazy work week. This post is to get everyone excited for architecture month starting in April. There are multiple events occurring every week through out the month. I’m going to try to attend as many events as I can and will certainly try post reminders and descriptions for the upcoming events.

You can get a full breakdown on the upcoming events at www.coloradoarchitecturemonth.org.

There are some amazing things being done with Autodesk Software by some pretty amazing people.  I guess I have my inspiration for today.  Time to pump some Cad….

You have until May 10 to submit your design in one of six categories. The Earth Awards

This is the second video I have seen by these guys. It would be great to see some of our public buildings take advantage of this media for the public art requirement in our public spaces instead of the typical plop art. Definitely check out their Vimeo page when you get a chance.
