HEALTH EGO FIRM








 



















This is a little video and photo shoot we did for our Professional Practice Class. We had to explain where we wanted to go in architecture by emphasizing where we didn't want to be. And for the record, I don't want to be Frank Gehry, and question anyone who does. However, he is the most extreme case I thought of on the spot! :) Enjoy!

ALMOST ARCHITECTURE






 A Day in the Life of a University of Utah Student....Friday I had the privilege of walking through the construction site of the CITY CREEK PROJECT with 14 architecture and city planning students. We saw the multi-million dollar parking deck which inhabits an entire block underground. We also were guided through the condos to get a beautiful view of the city and the ongoing project below.

After returning to school, the student I TA for had a final project review, so I walked around trying to hear them present while Philip was asked to be a juror for one of the sections. I'm having so much fun being involved, I hardly want to graduate!




A older missionary couple who has been serving in our church for the last 2 years are leaving and I was asked to do a sketch for a thank you gift. I sketched our church - a modernized model of an former baptist church - is a similar reflection of the inner-city member that attend. A very unique, yet well loved bunch. It gave me a chance to be outside for a while and truly enjoy the nature of detail. I always credit my dad for that hobby. And, I was immediately blessed, as I found a free ergonomic chair on the side of the road for studio! No more sitting on a stool!
