You should be proud, and show as many people as possible.
This is a thankless profession for alot of people, so Celebrate the accolades when and if "they come".
Even if not overt praise, your name in text associated with a project good enough to be in the book is an achievement.
Unless you are From Chicago, For which the Paidon Atlas has chosen to represent our city and it's recent architecture in a bad light.
There is much better...many locals didn't get the spotlight they deserved.
I hope they wise-up in the next edition.

That's nice.. a little reward is always welcomed.

So what is that project? what page?

beta, definitely be proud. be damn proud.

it is all a means to an end.....the long dirt nap!

i got a free-bee architecture magazine at home the other day that i'd never gotten before. so i took it to the potty and was engrossed in a good article when i came across a passage that was actually refering to me and a few other interns. while it didn't mention my name, it was about us and things that we did. i was pleasantly surprised! maybe i got the free-bee issue because i was in it?
i bragged about it at work, no one cared.

that's because they were jealous strawbeary.

congratulations!
i think its pretty cool.

i wish my name was in it.

brightside, i get your point, to me it's cool - and maybe that's all that matters - but i always got the sense it was cool to your wife, relatives, parents and non-architect friends, but to your peers it might just seem run of mill shit.....i think that's why i seem to be on both sides of the issue and hence the query....

so i guess the next question is; Do you put this fact in your resume?

i am sorry, but i like my anonymity here so i am not sure want to say which project, but rest assured this work is in there and it's in the US....

It's really cool. If it's not cool to you then you are in the wrong profession.

beta...i also have work in the Atlas...and i tell people as it comes up (which is rare)...but all of the publications from that project (and there have been multiple mags and books) are on my resume.

...its just another thing that might set me above someone else when i am searching for a job. never know.

i have a section in my resume for published work/exhibitions. even if it was so lame as student journals in college and student gallery stuff. i definetly think it belongs in your resume, if that's what you are wondering. don't create that heading and put only one thing under it, be creative and you can probably come up with lots of instances where you were published or exhibited. I designed a dog house that was built and then exhibited in a shopping mall for several months, it was one of 10 or 12 that was raffled for the humane society fundraiser and mine actually brought in the most money (cause it was the most coveted!) Is that something to be proud of? At this stage in the career, heck yes.

if you tell people because you think its cool, that's cool.
if you tell people because you think you're cool, that's not cool.

i bet your mum cares.

i live in bumfuck usa and the gurl who foams my latte every morning is hotter than that skank

vado can i move to ur town
