    Here at the YSOA our desks become quite cluttered as piles of models and drawings accumulate with each project. As a means to introduce our class and to document our own work, or detritus, we are presenting a set of interviews that both showcase the messiness of graduate school production and thought.

    The following series of interview questions are taken from Log 23 as a way to contrast the current generation of aspiring architects with the responses of those already established.

    • Cool idea guys. Keep the Daytum work going with these, add an age question and see where it takes you. I'm sure there's a correlation between Corb and Gaga...
