About a week ago, a couple of architects came and visited Maggie Walker for a lunchtime lecture. At least one of them was an alum. His name was Doug Becker, I think. He was with two women whose first names were Nicole and Shannon. I missed their last names. They delivered an interesting presentation about their profession and how it relates to the artistic process. I enjoyed their presentation particularly because I've recently been giving architecture some thought as a potential career and because I hadn't thought about it in terms of its relevance to art. The architects also mentioned several firms which I recognized, two of which (SMBW; Glavé and Holmes) my dad once worked with. After the lecture, I mentioned Watershed Architects (my dad's current firm) to Nicole, and she said that she was familiar with it. So that was pretty cool.
