I'm proud of my mini architect kids! They took on a design-build project this afternoon for an art museum. First, they did their precedent analysis by walking the Springville Museum of Art to familiarize themselves with the different exhibits. Then, they worked as a team to build several different museum design concepts - some even had sculpture gardens. Their father only did some minor coaching on the side! 😉 #designbuild #kidarchitect #museumdesign #architectureeducation #prouddad #springvillemuseumofart

I'm excited for our 2020 Spring lecture series to officially kick off tonight at Utah Valley University (UVU). We have partnered with the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art Utah Chapter as well as the Central Utah section of the American Institute of Architects. The free lecture starts at 6:30pm tonight at UVU in the Computer Science building, room CS-404. Parking at UVU is free after 5:00 pm. Come join us! @uvuarch @classicistutah #uvuarch #architectureeducation #uvu #lectureseries #aia #continuingeducation #icaautah #architects #architecture #traditionalarchitecture #classicalarchitecture

Looking forward to seeing what our UVU architecture students propose for this infill site in downtown Provo this semester. They have been tasked with designing a museum of antiquities. Stay tuned! @uvuarch #architectureeducation #historicarchitecture #architecturaldesign #traditionalarchitecture #uvuarchitecture #provo #historicprovo

My daughter Elena is proud of our latest Lego creation...her dream princess castle. And it's even equipped with a three story slide on the back! Believe it or not she said she had just as much fun making this as going to Disneyland. Reminds me of the importance of family time! #lego #fatherdaughter #princesscastle #legocastle #familytime

"Architecture emancipates us from the embrace of the present and allows us to experience the slow, healing flow of time." - Juhani Pallasmaa . I have always loved the details on this fountain at the Provo City Center Temple. The patina makes it even that much more beautiful as it ages over time. . #classicalarchitecture #waterfountain #patina #provocitycentertemple #thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #juhanipallasmaa

Just finished up a watercolor and ink rendering of the Memphis Tennessee Temple. It was a privilege to have been part of the design team on this project that was finished earlier this year. #sacredarchitecture #watercolor #watercolorrendering #thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #memphistennessetemple #ilovetoseethetemple #architecture #memphistemple #watercolortemple
