This is my client: Yeah...sort of... It was a quirky way to bring some of the quirks of a real client to the research regarding our residential unit. We were each given a unique postcard with a combination of an image and a word and made to push the conventional understanding of each and the way... View full entry

Studio II is in full swing. We've been given a site in the lower Highland Park neighborhood of Denver. It's a 50 foot by 125 foot lot on the NE corner of 33rd and Osage.
