		<title>Architect vs. The Market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been an Interesting week for the Lofts @ Cherokee Studios. A Condo building in Los Angeles designed by Pugh + Scarpa and boasting a shiny Platinum LEED rating.

		<title>Is This The Best Product Design Ever &#8211; Eames Aluminum Group Management Chair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Aluminum Management Office Chair design by Ray and Charles Eames.

Despite its popularity this chair doesn&#8217;t get enough credit. Built out of polished aluminum and leather, it is sleek and modern,  while also comfortable and ergonomic.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently saw a video clip on the Buddhist sand paintings called Mandalas. Truly beautiful pieces of art that take six days to complete. Within an hour of completion, they ritualistically destroy the painting. This teaching of impermanence is a good lesson for architects, for very few buildings last a lifetime.
