Still one of the most fun projects I’ve ever worked on…I still think that we would have held the Guinness World Records for steepest Pinewood Derby tracks if we had called them…

Great night with the North AL AIA and the kids who participated in the DreamArchitecture design competition!

This year, the project was a Dream Hotel and all of the K-5 schools in our area were invited. The kids were so much fun and their designs were full of imagination, big thinking, and straight up joy.

Thanks to the AIA for letting me be a juror of the 1st grade submissions, thanks to the families and teachers for supporting the kids, and thanks to the kids for helping an old man remember what it was like to be in 1st grade with a box of crayons and an empty sheet of paper!
