so much for knocking…

…opportunity is pretty much beating down my door. Yesterday, I got some fantastic news–the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and there will be a big celebration/bonanza/party at the end of the semester. For the event, Tristan Al Haddad will be creating another installation for the Architecture building, [...]

a little soul-searching

I stayed up all night sketching forms for my three concepts. I’m tired. I was going to just post this picture and say goodnight, but I’ve got some more serious things weighing on my mind right now. I just don’t feel right. I don’t know if I’m really cut out to be a designer. I [...]

7 january

Today, I spent the afternoon at Domus and Design Within Reach . I picked up an Ittallia catalog, and there were some interesting dinnerware pieces featured in it. Form-wise, there wasn’t anything too special, but some of the patterns were really cool. Pictures to come… I’m quite excited about this project!
