As we plan our back to work protocols, it’s important to be realistic with what’s at stake. This pandemic isn’t over yet. Pandemics have happened before, and will happen in the future. Consideration of human behavior and well being is an instrinsic part of design.

Lockdown is still in place but cabin fever and mounting concerns are reaching boiling point. As unemployment rises, the anorexic economy is slowly driving people back to work... 📷 @projectb612 -

Went for a bike ride the other day, lucky enough to find our way to some old naval warehouses. These gigantic structures are simple and elegant. Unselfconscious and functional, in their semi-decay they are ethereal #architecture #phenomenology #design #form #function #structure #light

“In the hierarchy of major themes that shaped the modern spirit in architecture, hygiene, the imperative of a more salubrious habitat and city, is undeniably at the top of the list. With the book X-Ray Architecture (Zurich: Lars Müller Publishers, 2018), Beatriz Colomina, historian and theoretician of architecture and teacher at Princeton, chooses to make this a structuring principle, more to do with the fear of death and the repressed unconscious than the spirit of innovation. Is modern architecture as hysterical as that of the Baroque period?”

In Camps Even Atheists Pray
Lynn Breedlove
All That Is, please guide us out of this darkness. In this moment crying. In this moment sure. Laughing, fucking, eating, replicating plates served by mothers. Channeling Taurus full moon and dead moms and live dads, grounded forward going, get outta jail free, avoid jail entirely, make it happen magic, and glamour money fashion shine charm build-it action. True love always.
Bring Mandelas, Mumias, Panthers and Kings, bring Peltiers and Black Elks and Lame Deers. Bring Maya Angelou all aglow and how she says bring your ancestors with you into the room, and what will be read is power. Charisma.
All the angels, all the stars, all the ghosts of Sophie Scholl, the White Rose, von Stauffenberg, Anne Frank, and Marlene. All the nameless who gave a crust of bread to someone who wasn’t gonna live anyway. All the retro planets saying save your energy till late in the game and then slingshot it through the eye of despots, blow everything sky high at once, take out killers with our high powered books and Subcultural Standards of Beauty good looks. And if you’re lucky just keep reloading, picking off evil. Keep them in your sights, crosshairs the only cross you pray to or bear.
Leave behind a trail of stars to X marks the spot, to treasure, to hearts, to explosions of light, to true love coming in your fist, to high as a kite in your arms, to crying over the loss of all humans, all the queers and trans, women and children, beasts and sky and water, last but not least, all the blue sky from the west down to the east. Blue, just how we see it from here. Blow it all up, and it’s a dream remembered by sentries at castles who look out at black starry skies and tell stories of what we learned there, then, on a green and blue rock, far away and once upon a time.

From rebirth to fertility, the ultimate symbol of Easter and tradition, eggs have been decorated for centuries. Creativity in more ways than one, Covid has kept us at home so we let our imagination run like rabbits (!) Color, patina, texture, and a little chemistry experiment for that contemporary feel. Unique and natural forms with old fashioned fun #easteregg -

As we all stay home, the streets return to the native species. There have been coyote warnings and here in the mission the locals are reclaiming the medium and the message. #sanfrancisco #local #billboard #tag #backtonature #gentrification #tippingpoint

As we continue to adapt our “work from home” lives, productivity and scheduling remain the priority. Pivoting one step further into the privilege of technology, we notice change and are reminded of its constant presence. #workfromhome .

Inside is the new outside. Mostly used for utilities and storage, the basement has evolved over time. But in light of a global pandemic, the first of its kind in our time, how will we live in our homes moving forwards?
Will we bring external activity to the home? Will families disperse themselves in the home? Are we developing the new normal through this crisis?

In spite of the crisis, work is still getting done. This project in Ocean Beach was just completed, handed over today and clients are now making it home. Shelter in place, shelter is home, shelter at the beach.

This building in Aspen CO is delineated by an undulating facade, that you wouldn’t notice if you weren’t looking. The elevations must have been positively ordinary but the building is extraordinary. Oh and did I forget to mention that this is in an “historic district”. Take a lesson @sfdcp #architecture #design #sculpture #twodimensions #threedimension #fourdimension #wood #design
