to participate in a lecture and tour of the high tech high chula vista campus.
the tour was lead by my architect!
c been leading tours of this high school for over a year and a half now,but i had
never gone on one (i feel like such a bad wife because of this). i've wanted to go,
it is just difficult for me to get away from work during the day.
because of the recent national architectural award it received, it's been getting a fair share
of publicity, so when the san diego aia chapter got wind of it, they contacted christopher.
it's rare i get to watch christopher in action among his colleagues and peers,
so it was particularly enjoyable for me. he invited the architect and the general contractor
to be there so entire team was there to really share the experience of how the project
came to life.
i learned alot from the tours - about materials, construction, and c even touched on the
philosophy of high tech high, and the project-based learning model they follow.
i like the high school, but i especially love the k-8 school which opens in a few weeks.
i have a feeling this school will win some awards of it's own in the future.
here's a rendering of the school. i will post a photo once the project is complete.
i drove home with a cheesy grin on my face.
so happy to finally see these projects (which have been c's babies over the past few years)
and so happy to have a husband who truly loves what he does.
*************************************
my 3 flew to minnesota today for the week.
i came home to a quiet home...so different than most nights.
i know i will enjoy having the next several evenings all to myself,
but it will take a day or two for me to get used to this empty house.
i'll still miss 'em but they are where they need to be
and this mom will be just fine. *wink*
c sent me this photo of the boys as they began their trip.
i wish i could see the look on their faces.
