ARCHITECTURE ON WHEELS

Recently, I decided to see what all the fuss is about Food Trucks!
I wish I would have done sooner...My wife, myself, and a couple of friends went on what I called a Food Safari !
In other words we went searching for the food trucks.
We were aided greatly by the web site /roaminghunger.com/. You can choose your city and time slots and it maps the location of the Trucks...Then your off to a delicious food chasing experience.

P.S. As an Architect I appreciate the very efficient use of space and vibrant imagery and creativity of these mobile works of Architecture!

Design-Build a New Old Approach

2011-07-11T13:52:00.000-07:00

In pre-scientific eras architecture and construction were intertwined. They were often considered one and the same, a Master-builder.

Construction techniques were passed down by oral communication thru apprenticeship.

After the advent of scientific methods of construction the separation of design and construction became the norm. Specialization has its advantages however many are opting for a more efficient and streamlined approach to building.

The DESIGN-BUILD APPROACH offers the following advantages.

1. Ongoing budget control and management

2. Single source accountability

3. Efficient communication

4. Better time and schedule management

5. Quality control

6. Team approach to problem solving

7. Less Litigation

No perfect approach exist, however DESIGN-BUILD's many advantages make it an approach worth serious investigation and consideration!
