Updates and Dates
Finally the design of our latest project is beginning to reveal itself. We completed the theatre and it is quite remarkable, now on to the third round of the concert hall... Ivan, Alex and I worked like Tasmanian devils on the design. We were very smart, we divided the tasks, Alex designed the acoustical system, Ivan improved the design of what I had slaved over the weekend and we dished out the concert hall and started fresh so hopefully by tomorrow night we will have all the pieces cooked and then production will begin. Cliff did the code research and other important activities I am not allowed to reveal, plus, Lance my former business partner has agreed to meet me on Saturday to help out in designing the "perfect" most efficient structural system for the project.
On my end, I am ready to throw in the towell, I have been staring at this project for too long, but I know in my heart that if I hang out long enough, I will in fact, become a participant of a memorable project. Another building which hopefully when I am gone, my children will visit and see and understand what made "mommy tick". For me is more of an homage to all who have supported me in this crazy business of architecture, specially my father who relished in every single thing I did whether it was a success or a flop. I learned during his short life that you have a choice, either dance on tables or hide in the corner... my choice has been obvious... but whether I fly and soar or crash and burn, it has always been on my terms. Whom else has had the priviledge to have such a ride? enduring scratches, sudden turns and falls, while holding a chocolate bar on one hand and texting on the other while coming down hill on one of those treacherous trails I love so much, just behind my office, in our beautiful Palm Springs. The challenge this project presents makes "Bad Water" a walk in the park. I am so glad to be surrounded by wonderful team-mates who give their heart and soul time and time again... Thank you guys and girls... It could not ever happen without you!!!!
