architects…

just heard [ er, read ] about the PA Award winners [ click here to read about them ] and peter lynch won! for a project here on cranbrook’s campus for a project that i kind of thought wasn’t going to go through… maybe this will help revive it.

anyway, it got me thinking about a minor little disagreement i had over the holidays… i went to the monterey bay aquarium and mentioned that i thought the architect of that building was the same architect that designed the university union at cal poly slo… i couldn’t remember his name, but i thought it started with an ‘E’ … to make a long story short(er) i did a little digging around and figured out that it was Joseph Esherick who designed the Monterey Bay Aquarium [ 1988 ] and the Julian A. McPhee University Union [ 1973 ] in fact he was honored by the AIA for both… woohoo! i win!!

okay, back to work.
