Cheer Up!

My studio is starting a number of projects in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, this semester.  Our first visit was gloomy and grey, but what’s to come is shiny and bright!  We’re pretty excited.

I also love this photo I got of my friend Sofia.  It’s kind of a habit of architects to climb parking structures to get a good view, but the walls were so high at the top of this one that we had to get creative.  I shimmied part-way up a lamppost, but Sofia was the only one brave enough to dangle her feet over the city height.

Thanks for hosting us, Messieurs Winston and Salem!  We’ll be back before you know it.

Things Are Lookin’ Up!

No, really!  Look UP!

On Saturday I drove down to Charlotte for the afternoon to see my parents and cousin.  It was a beautiful day, and, in true tourist fashion, I walked around town with my head thrown back and my camera welded to my eyeball.  There are two noticeably great things about the city of Charlotte that set it apart from a lot of other cities:  one, that Charlotte has LOTS of trees, and two, that you can still see the sky.  There are other great things there, too, but I’ll leave those for you to explore and find for yourself :)

Did you have a fun weekend?
