Architecture Is Human: Part VII – Humanity Built This
This is a project done in 2020. We, the humans, forget that we make things beyond need. We want outcomes so badly that we confuse desire with necessity. Things like war, a pandemic, a broken bone tell us pretty quickly that we while are fully righteous in our expectations, there is no such thing as […]
Architecture Is Human: Part VI – Methods of Making
This model is smaller than my fist. Today, models like these are mostly done in two dimensions, on screens, after some scribbles, some hard-lining (on a screen) of those scribbles. Creation results. It really does not matter how you vision, revision, or make before finding what is to be made, the important reality is to […]
Architecture Is Human: Part V – Scale: Size Matters
Every thing, every where, has a size. Dimension is upon every corporeal thing in our universe. But Size is not Scale. Rather than gravity, time, even craft, the Scale of what we make can be a result of what it is and does, or its Scale is completely independent of its Size. A skyscraper can […]

The places of instinct, the nest, the burrow, the anthill, do everything needed, they solve the problem, but they […]
Architecture Is Human: Part III – Context: The Cauldron
We are all somewhere. None live solely in our minds, or on the glowing screen you are seeing here. We all have a context, an origin point, a place. Humans are not satisfied with instinct, they create. Everything is made in a place. That place is where the needs and desires of those who wish […]

The Six Layers of a Healthy Referral Strategy
It’s safe to say if a healthy, fully functioning referral strategy has six layers, there’s a good chance you’re missing one or two of them (or maybe more). When I say a healthy and fully functioning referral strategy, I mean that you’re producing the desired results of referrals received that isn’t left to chance and […]
Architecture Is Human: Part II – History: The Other Gravity
Every second passes, and there was a before, now and after. Unrelenting. Unchanging. On every thing we see, hear, taste and touch. Time is universal.
