I am sharing my Comment page with friend of the magazine Jimmy Stamp, whose “Blog Is In the Details,” which premiered in 08.1, “The ‘90s Generation,” will now be a regular feature of arcCA. It’s here this time around not so much to highlight it, but just because it can be so darned puzzling how to get everything to fit in an exact multiple of four pages. And you people think BIM is complex.
But, also, I don’t need the whole page, because my thought for this quarter is a simple one. This issue, “Interiors + Architecture,” is the last in a three-part series on the relationships between architecture and three adjacent professions: landscape architecture, engineering, and interior design. The goal is to encourage better mutual understanding among our disciplines, because the better we get along, the better will be the results of our labors. As one contributor to the series remarked, coordinating can be a pain, but collaborating is a kick.
We’re entering a new year in which much will depend on everyone’s willingness and ability to “reach across the aisle.” So, gentle readers: biiiiiig stretch!
