There was definitely a hammock being used … and not just by me. What was pretty cool was that my pen started being passed around the table as everyone started to get in on the sketching action.

What About Sketching? I’m not sure that it’s that big a deal nowadays – and it would seem that most graduating architecture students don’t really know how to sketch based on the portfolio’s I’ve seen. Can’t draw? It must be Presentation Skills … right?

There should be nothing inherently dismaying about older people keeping going By definition, architects are late bloomers.

If you've designed and built something by the age of 40, you're doing well.
