Despite a common sentiment otherwise, Writing has a significant and rich place in the design process. While it isn’t always being engaged with directly in situations such as deciphering a brief or writing a project summary or thesis, the simple act of speaking with a colleague about an in-progress design has a strong element of the written to it. We must find words for our thoughts, and that process often demands that a degree of clarity be brought to those thoughts. I don’t expect that this blog will delve into any of my in-progress design work, however I may write some postmortems for completed projects, specifically focusing on the process that generated them.

Updates likely won’t be frequent, however I do hope that what I post is worth the time it takes to read. That means thoughtful and rigorous writing, and that takes time (something a student of architecture sorely lacks).

Until next time!
