By Leo MacLeod This scenario might sound familiar: After receiving a delegated task, the person emails back half-done work, saying, “Did as much as I could; kicking it back to you.” You take the bait and help out and kick it back to the person.

Architecture Is Human: Part VI – Methods of Making

Architecture Is Human: Part IV – Craft: Beyond Building

We speak, but we also write poetry. We whistle, but symphonies resound. We can eat a protein bar or a seven course meal. Our needs do not limit our desire. That is true of making things.
