My Trip In the Desert

This is one of the sketches i did after a short trip to the town of Real de Catorce. We spent a weekend in and around the area exploring. We got pretty far from anything that one would call civilization. I bought gas that was poured into my jeep with a metal pail and a funnel. It was an enchanted place and i think that some of the energy from that adventure found its way onto my page. We ended up camping in a valley where the magic cactus grows. I would like to eventually add some color to the pages and maybe eventually redo it to clean up the overall composition a little better.

Bjarke Ingels: 3 warp-speed architecture tales

I would like to nominate Bjarke Ingles' TED talk as possibly my favorite of all time. His 'evolutionary' approach to architecture is simple, intuitive and effective. Bjarke likens the lineage of architecture design and theory to the theory of evolution, complete with its own tree. He also explains how although an idea may be rejected in one situation may be perfect for another. His ideas seem so simple and straightforward that I feel inspired to see that still the best ideas can be the simple.
