Read this. Thought of you. It’s a tiny excerpt of Dwell’s interview with ceramist Adam Silverman in the Dwell on Design Preview Guide.
Dwell: “Sounds like a nice life as a potter, but do you miss working as an architect?”
Silverman: “You know, I keep paying my dues to stay licensed. It was so painful to get it that I just can’t give the damn thing up.”
I’m going to Dwell on Design, June 25 - 27 at the LA Convention Center. Are you?

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
