A Friday in August


Today was one of those mornings where I got up, staggered to my laptop, plopped down somewhat ungracefully and just got to work. Forgoing all of my morning rituals. I even denied Hadley her morning walk. These types of mornings happen once in a while. They can be traced back to grad school - when life had no balance, and was all about studio. About the push and getting your ideas out of your head.

But they're also a really effective way for me to growth spurt my way through a portion of a project, so this morning I accepted the urge and spent the first 4 hours of my morning glued to the laptop screen. No toothbrush, no breakfast, not even a coffee.

Around 11, I finally showered and dressed myself, pleased to find that old packed away clothes I haven't worn in a long while came together into a fairly pleasing outfit. 



It was also a day that the temperatures were so high that Hadley was panting as she lay on her bed. I went through a usb full of architecture office tour photos and found this image from the REX studio in NY. http://rex-ny.com Styrofoam concept and massing models, some stark white while others bright shades of orange and red. 




Jason came by on his lunch hour to discuss x-pollinate studio agenda. Hadley was pleased as always.

That evening, I headed out to meet Erin, my friend from Estudio; a super sharp girl with the keenest sense of humor. We met for happy hour at Jayne's Gastropub, one of my favorites, and a true gastropub, not the self proclaimed gastropub of our days with funny saucesand greasy bar food; the real deal.  We stayed through the beautiful dusk and into the night.
