Click to see my architectural shoots over at ArchistDesign | Studio. All projects by Architectural Concepts in San Diego, CA.

Apparently this is my year. The year of the Water Dragon.
I am happy to say, I am finally completing my architecture website.

This other digital studio has been on the back burner for about a year , but it looks like 2012 is the antithesis of procrastination.

A year that quickens…like a strong sun that vanquishes the fog.

I have added some photography work for my friend and mentor Margit Whitlock at Architectural Concepts. Photographing these well-executed design projects was a joy.

Still few portfolio items to add to the site (and three new projects on the boards!)
Will keep posting updates as they happen, and hope to finish in few weeks.

My [humble] contribution to the Occupy Movement

San Diego, December 2011. Logo design for Occupy San Diego Architects (#OSDARCHITECTS). A chair on a sidewalk is the first act of urbanity.

Here’s to the three fearless women who burned the midnight oil mad-drawing, brainstorming, smoking…and listening to a French radio station.

Here’s to completing a full series of state-of-the-art presentation drawings in one night.

Here’s to our kick-ass boards and efficient subversiveness.

Here’s to your question, La Gitane : “How does it feel to be talented?”

Here’s to the short-lived, but never forgotten, #OSD Architects.

Continued catalysts for moments of urbanity (if the city does not give you benches…)

Ink on tracing paper. Kuwait, January 2010. The scene at the bottom is what I saw-or decided to see- at The Avenues, the most popular malla in Kuwait City. There is nothing like seeing photography and drawings from a trip abroad to make you realize all reality is subjective, and we choose to see what we want to. We just don’t realize it in our own backyard.
