Award


Ferry Terminal (the glass structure in the foreground)

Its time I put it here.
My first award – winning project ever, (one that I've worked on, albeit for a while) was awarded the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Architecture Merit Award, the NY Construction News Award and today it's in the NY Times.
The glory is shared by all those who worked on that project.
To………Our individual two minutes of fame!!!
Cheers!!! Posted by Picasa

Wine.

"I like to think about the life of wine.
How it's a living thing.
I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained.
I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now.
I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61.
And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline."

- Maya in the movie 'Sideways'

A quote that's refusing to leave my head!
