If only I had a home to do all of these time-consuming tasks in. One day!
Absolutley stunning house. I am so excited to have stumbled upon what was at first a couples dream, that then came to fruition. And not only that, but they are designers! A modern day Charles & Ray Eames if you will. A home built for designers….in what sounds like a neat city! Palermo of Buenos Aires, Argentina is now on my travel Bucket List. Worth looking at the pictures AND reading the interview.
As I continue my education, and I continue along the timeline of “aging” and all that entails with the “learning curve”…aka wising up, and being a part of the informed culture- Food is something that has taken quite the precedence of importance in my life. To me, it all makes sense. We are what we eat. Evolution is real, and does and will have it’s effects. What they are? Well, we are seeing them, but from a standpoint that isn’t so all-seeing. We truly need to grasp the amount of people on this planet and that food is the one thing that makes us all run. We need to be a quality species which means fighting for non-modified foods (plant and animal) because it is quite literally a life and death matter of argument and prioritization. Or it can just be survival of the fittest and may the most knowledgable, informed, and active-who-seek-organic win. ::Smirk spreads across face::
Below you will find a profoundly fascinating and simplistic talk I heard on NPR by a Doctor/Professor at Harvard University about our bodies, the food we eat, and it’s part in modern day sicknesses & diseases.

Amazing! One of the classes I am taking right now is called “The Contemporary House.” In this class we are learning how to design a unique, conceptual, working floor plan along with an entire house. Within the process of design, as interior design students, our Japanese professor educates us on the actual construction of the house’s foundation, the makeup of the walls, the roof’s construction (which has been a big eye opener on the complexity and depth of work an aesthetically successful house takes), and right down to the construction of kitchen cabinetry.
This post on treeHugger has really hit home with how I tend to think, “Why does it have to be done this way?” …A thinker of “nothing is impossible,” I always like questioning the way things work. So being a Sustainability minor, I have to say, “Goodbye drywall!”
This article shares where drywall began, why it was used (cheap), why we should get rid of drywall and how there are designers and architects who refuse to use it and have created seamlessly beautiful spaces.

In the midst of my studies, two jobs, dog, cleaning, cooking/grocery shopping/prepping to stay healthy, and work outs, I find it more and more rare when I have a calm, sane, clear-thinking moment.
Thank goodness for the flower and plant-filled canyon behind my house.

I love how the process of search engines > “images,” works. I just click click click and jump to one window and image after the next and BAM, I found exactly the inspiration I was searching for.
For my current class, Contemporary House Design, we are designing a 3 bedroom home here in San Diego with quite the extensive program, requirements, codes to follow, as well as pre-exisiting conditions to take into consideration.
We are at the stage of completed bubble diagramming, and now establishing our “parti” based on our concept. Mine is “Easy Breezy.” Doesn’t exactly sound sophisticated, but oh, you wait and see. Here’s the inspiration I found. Just what I envisioned. Modern Mission Revival Hacienda. >
A great idea to grow your own food in the city!

I am currently working on a 2 point perspective/axonometric drawing in my Visual Presentation class and we were assigned to look up ways to draw entourage as well as low-water garden life and ways to draft it. Seems like this woman knows whats up!
