If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? ...hmmm...I think it would be interesting to have coffee with (Swiss early modern architect) Le Corbusier at MIT's Stata Center in Cambridge. He'd have a lot to say about that building...and the coffee too, probably.
What is your dream job? I have my dream job right now! I am so proud of the work we're doing at Fishbrook Design Studio. Every day I'm humbled by the quality of my colleagues and clients.
