After two years since my last post on this blog, I have continued to receive email messages reporting new followers. This has given me cause to think that that just maybe there are folks out there that think that what I have to say, matters.
If this is the case, thank you!
In any case, although I may deviate from what some may think the suggestion that this blog is focused upon may vary, I ultimately believe that because I have become the essence of what it means to be an "Architect" after a half century of practice, my thoughts on most matters reflect those of an Architect. So, with that thought in mind, I would like to direct your attention to my recent experiences after being diagnosed with Stage 4, Lung Cancer.
This unanticipated diagnosis has changed my life from this point forward. The background image of this blog depicts a dream I have nurtured for several years of my studio in my home. Since my diagnosis, I realized how important it is to realize your dreams before you no longer have the opportunity. Finally, that image is taking real shape. My clients and friends will be able to experience the refreshing joy of sharing a view of our hidden Appalachian "Hollow" from the second story deck of my studio.
This is an important thought for budding architects because it reveals the importance of implementing your dreams to your continued growth as an Architect. If you aren't in a position to realize the dreams you create, then you must develop projects or ideas that you have direct control of and implement them.
Contact me to visit my new studio. You'll like it!
