Graeme K You mentioned that your blog is getting young people excited about becoming an architect; I’m now weeks away from completing my final year in architecture school in Scotland and there have been many late nights and moments of doubt throughout. Stopping by your blog has on many occasions inspired me to keep going.

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old. It becomes easier to tell the client “No, that’s crap and I’m not designing it that way!”

In 2011 I wrote 159 articles and in 2012 that trend continued … I only wrote 96 articles. Today is a look at years two and three. Weird, right?
