one’s line, one’s self
Tomorrow, I head to an architect’s office to talk to a group of architects and designers about the key role of the power of mark-making in their design process; specifically in their practice. One’s own authentic line provides the designer the essential, evocative direction, so necessary in today’s world of architectural design.
lecture: Glenn Murcutt
An announcement from a student on Monday night, ‘lecture at noon at the U. Tuesday, Glenn Murkutt is in town’.

I head over and I anticipate beautiful work and great conversation.

Glenn is introduced.

Here are my notes from the lecture. Lasting.
Do not miss these moments. I was inspired. Get out there.
