Shortly after participating in Thom Mayne and Karen Lohrmann advised <a href="http://www.suprastudio.aud.ucla.edu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SUPRASTUDIO</a>&nbsp;reviews, I walked around and my snapshot sensibility has curated this slideshow for Archinect's world wide readers...

Watch for in depth presentation of SUPRASTUDIO coming soon in our features section.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87051047@N00/sets/72157626790653945/show/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slideshow</a></p>
