Sister Love

I can't imagine life without my sisters. Our relationships to eachother and our parents change over the years but we have that common history that no friendship can ever rival. It's getting more complicated lately, so I was eager to read You Were Always Mom's Favorite for insight. I gained some knowledge and I've been thinking so much, but I don't have solutions yet.

Devil in the Details

AvroKO's designs resonate with me, I think, because they consider the history of buildings when creating identities for the restaurants that inhabit those spaces. They bring in unexpected touches and use materials that one might never encounter anywhere else. I especially liked the card catalog of past menus in PUBLIC (of course), as well as the meat hook chandeliers at Quality Meats. Best Ugly highlights just a few of their successful projects.
