weekend wonderland

A year ago today I started working with my current employer, deciding to go back and re-kickstart the career that I parted ways with some 15 years ago. A year ago today I re-kindled my love affair with Architecture. It's not that I totally turned my back to design and drawings, and all that stuff that is usually related to Architecture. I look at it as eating the pie-crust but not really indulging on the filling. My previous work still involved design, but on a smaller scale (which suits me just fine, by the way). But as fate would have it, I was meant to make bigger drawings and grander plans (literally and figuratively). I am back to re-stocking my knowledge of anything Architecture. Needless to day, I have regained this how-is-this-stuff-put-together perspective that I had back when I was still in school. I am back to going around knocking structural sheets at the mall, feeling the texture of any wood items that I come across, looking under the furniture that I am sitting upon just to see how it is supported. Everytime I do these things, I am glad that I've finally come full circle. Some 15 years go, I jumped overboard the ship called Architecture (Philippine-style). A year ago today I decided to give the Architect in me a chance... and it has not been that disappointing so far.
