Architecture Addiction, The Official Blog of

I just read this article in the LA Times by Susan Carpenter that I thought you might like to read.

She invested in a gray water system, solar panels, rain barrels, earth works, a water wall, edible landscaping, a composting toilet, and chickens.

Read about the things that worked well…and the ones that didn’t.

I’ve been getting some really great letters from you. You write to me about your school. About applying to school. About what your studio is like. About your hopes and dreams and disappointments, and your hopes in spite of your disappointments.

And I want to share that with the world.

Your studio critics might make you feel like shit about yourself, but I want you to know that you are powerful indeed. You have a voice. And I want to share what you have to say with the world.

When I get a really good letter, I write back and ask if it’s okay to share it here on the blog.

New policy.

When you write to me, it’s with the understanding that it’s okay with you if I publish your letter.

If you don’t want me to, that’s okay. Just tell me and I won’t. But I hope you’ll take this opportunity to share your message with our worldwide readership.
