I Stopped by the Millard House (FLW 1932, Pasadena) on the way back from the Structural Engineer's office today so that one of my Project Architects could see it. It is for sale and no one was home. We took our time taking it in and taking some photographs. God......What magnificence!

An Architect's job can be a lonely one and always best done sober.

Since Bohemianism has become institutionalized, paradoxically I am radical by being behaviorily traditional. I am a Neodistablishmentarian.

MAGNASPLENDENT!

L'Etate , c'est moi.

Fate Follows Fantasy.

The new BAR. Two opposing offset wedges with the left (unexposed cantilever) for bar stool seating and the right end for belly up, foot on the concrete rail, standing and drinking. Form Follows Function. Can't wait to see the whole.....Might be beautiful.

DESIGN FORGE not DESIGN FORGERY.

I ignite the flame of the forge in the mind and gather the necessary ingredients for casting a brand new idea. Dimensions, materials, strength of materials, color, structure, everything. All the while concentrating, searching, visualizing, imagining, negating then back to concentrating and on and on it goes. Only until a NEW one is conceived, is the hand allowed to draw or fingers to enter a command.

And any lies, the forgeries of others are not included. No copycatting. Only the unknown is exciting. At least half a dozen designs for bar stools have been imagined and committed to paper but none are worthy. Close but not the real deal. But I am self assured and get strength from knowing that my mind will forge a new idea with more concentration, more hard work. This all may sound big, as my wife says but You can't do the talk without doing the walk.
