WINNING! AGAIN!! AGAIN!!!
Sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter of
the AIA
After winning the top Judges Special
Commendation Award for the 2012 competition, I have now been awarded
third place for the 2013 competition as well!
My winning image will be on display in a
special exhibit with the other 13 winning images at the AIA National Convention in Denver, CO come June. Images from the 2013 competition will not be
published in the Rizzoli Architecture Engagement Calendar like previous years. The
AIA is currently seeking other avenues to give these stunning images the
attention they deserve.
The awarded image was taken while on the
Argentina Exchange Program sponsored by the CA+P and the University of
Utah where I spent 10 weeks studying at the Universidad Nacional Litoral in Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina. While on a weekend trip to Buenos Aires, my
classmates and we stopped by La Boca, Buenos Aires, which as vibrant and
interesting as it was simply turned out to be another tourist trap. After
leaving La Boca we made our way towards the culturally rich San Telmo area by
foot simply exploring the city as it came at us. An apartment complex in the
distance caught my eye just by its mere size. The more I stared at it ignorant
and curious, the more I was intrigued by its massive presence. To get a better
view, I climbed on to the bed of a semi-truck and snapped a few shots; and, as
I digested the architecture through my lens, I realized that the sublime
message was “Community”. And so I named the image.
Thank you for your kind words, and best of luck to you as well. I truly believe we can find inspiration any time and anywhere as long as we have the eyes to see. I believe that the most profound design inspiration is much like personal revelation. We must be humble to recognize it, accept it, and run with it although we may not know why as first.
ReplyDeleteThanks for share this post I also share with you something hope you like my post. Running a creative business is challenging and exciting at best, and a nightmare at worst. It’s certainly hard, but it can also be a rewarding way to combine creativity with commerce. This workshop covers the ten most important things that a creative business needs to address, whether you’re a team of people working together or a solo arts practitioner hoping to make it as a freelance. These tips cover starting and running a creative business, managing money, a little about tax and legal responsibilities, and information about marketing. Plentiful extra resources and contacts will also be on offer. Best of all, the tips are based on the real-life experience of facilitator Monica Davidson, a freelance writer and filmmaker who has had a successful 25 year career in her own creative business and now shares her experience with others who want to be creative, have fun, and make some money. Thanks
