After one tough Sunday night a few weeks back, full calm has returned to Rancho Park, and PDA’s precautionary facade board-up will soon come down. Painting this was great fun. We fully support our peacefully protesting community, and will push this great cause forever! @blacklivesmatter !!

PDA has become aware (thanks B/G!) of a remarkable development in personal protective equipment - the @Micrashell suit by LA’s @productionclub, a multi-disciplinary creative studio that develops “immersive experiences for the tech, music, and gaming industries”. This expanded helmet-and-gloves protective suit is intended to permit “socializing without distance”, and includes an N95 filtration system, sound (with body-contact “subresonators”), camera, beverage and vaping (uh-oh!) canisters, and integrated cel control options. We regret such a device being necessary, but greatly admire the vision and verve behind this design. Bravo, Production Club!

Acoustifence is a notable sound-blocking material, made by sound-management product manufacturer Acoustiblok. We are quite taken with this handsome/funny plastic leaf-grid material, which can be ordered as an overlay on the sound-blocking membrane, for fences, walls, etc. Of course, such things fly fully in the face of our interest in material authenticity, integrity, and truth. What do you all think?!?

Sometimes architect/fathers are the arts-and-craft

Sometimes architect/fathers are the arts-and-crafts coordinators for first grade classes. When that happens, they get to experiment with delightful assemblages that might engage little rascals. Great fun!

PDA is assisting with a lightning-fast tenant improvement project. A vibrant yet maturing tech start-up is moving to a new space adjacent to UCLA. They’re growing, so it’s 3x the size of their current HQ. @WhitakerConstruction started demo this AM with a full crew of eager and skilled workers. Has removing vinyl plank flooring ever looked so good?!? Please forgive the hideous water bottle! PDA uses only refillable containers. Should we photoshop it out? Viewer poll, please! 🙂

PDA returned to the site of his graduate education

PDA returned to the site of his graduate education in architecture - the University of Virginia in Charlottesville - on the occasion of the School of Architecture’s 100th anniversary. The remarkable original central campus (called the “Academical Village” by its designer/founder, Thomas Jefferson) is considered one of the great masterpieces of American building design. “The Rotunda” (shown here) was the library, a fitting central focus for an expansive lawn flanked by student and faculty housing on both sides. This complex was finished around 1813.
We were impressed to see a great circular monument under construction outside - a long overdue “Memorial to Enslaved Laborers”; the campus was built by slaves. How important to come to grips with these terrible realities!

This strikingly strange and lovely plant is thriving near Abbot Kinney in a nearly tone-on-tone stucco niche. It’s positively Octopoid! Prehistoric! PDA is delighted to share this Blossfeldtian moment with you all. But will we be grabbed and eaten when we return?!?
