Architecture week in Tucson will run between September 24th and October 2nd.

There are a whole slew of events including a brand new 1st annual bicycle tour, the 19th annual architecture home tour, Kidstruction, Canstruction, Ask-an-architect, morning and evening lectures, and walking tours.

Make sure to read all about it with this PDF and please enjoy the events.

I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I’d share a little illustration work that I recently did. Nothing feels better than getting into the Art of Architecture.

After writing to show my support of preservation of the former Valley National Bank Operations Center I received an expeditious reply from Chuck Huckelberry’s Chief Administrative Assistant.

I have decided to share the response letter with supporting attachments so that Pima County’s official stance is known. It seems that huckelberry is quite set on their decision to demolish the round cafeteria structure and have taken the stance that MAPP is politically incorrect with their information regarding Pima County’s position on historic preservation.

Please review and make your own decision.  I however still support saving the round cafeteria structure.
