That dream was not to be, but we decided to give no f*cks, in honor of our guest <a href="http://archinect.com/people/cover/13923933/elizabeth-timme" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elizabeth Timme</a>. The tenacious and game-changing Timme spoke with Donna and Amelia (with the appropriate amount of f*cks) about her work with <a href="http://www.mas.la/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LA M&aacute;s</a>, a&nbsp;non-profit design studio aimed at social justice issues in Los Angeles.</p><p>In other matters of justice, Paul sat down with <strong><a href="http://archinect.com/sessions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Archinect Session</a></strong><a href="http://archinect.com/sessions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>s</strong></a>'s legal correspondent,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dykema.com/professionals-brian_newman.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brian Newman</a>, about a recent lawsuit against <a href="http://archinect.com/som" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOM</a> that went all the way up to California's Supreme Court, and the far-reaching implications for architects.</p><p>We also talk with <a href="http://archinect.com/aaron-willette" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aaron Willette</a> about the <a href="http://btabb.archinect.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bigger Than A Breadbox / Smaller Than A Building</a> competition, aimed at revitalizing the pavilion's role in architectural research (deadline is February 15!).
