architects...

Thursday, January 26, 2006

just heard [ er, read ] about the PA Award winners [ click here to read about them ] and peter lynch won! for a project here on cranbrook’s campus for a project that i kind of thought wasn’t going to go through… maybe this will help revive it. anyway, it got me thinking about a minor little disagreement i had over the holidays… i went to the monterey bay aquarium and mentioned that i thought the architect of that building was the same architect that designed the university union at cal poly slo… i couldn’t remember his name, but i thought it started with an ‘E’ … to make a long story short(er) i did a little digging around and figured out that it was Joseph Esherick who designed the Monterey Bay Aquarium [ 1988 ] and the Julian A. McPhee University Union [ 1973 ] in fact he was honored by the AIA for both… woohoo! i win!! okay, back to work.

i saw this linked on fark and knew what it was immediately… where’s george is one of those websites that i rarely hear about anymore [ even though it’s still going strong ] but was one of the first sites that really got me interested in mapping and tracking information. it’s fun and, apparently, has some value for research in the scientific realm.

No bones about it, you’re an adventurous Scottish Terrier. Fearless, feisty, and always up for a challenge, you like having things your way. Some people might even label you stubborn or headstrong. But we know you’re just ambitious and motivated. (Being misinterpreted is such a trial, isn’t it?) Besides, your can-do attitude serves you well when facing challenges at work or in your personal life. No job is too big, and absolutely no obstacle is going to stand in your way. You’re always ready, willing, and able to rise to the challenge. A loyal, caring friend, you choose your pals very carefully, then stick by them through thick and thin. Woof!

forgot to post this... memories of the beach...
