		<title>SEPTEMBER 18TH, LOCUS 2X2 No. 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Come to Locus Architecture on September 18th, for the next installment of the 2X2 talks. Last year we started a interactive discussion pairing visionary people to talk about how relationships inspire what they do. In architecture school, students tend to see dozens of architects give their version of the &#8220;Recent Work&#8221; lecture about their buildings, [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOCUS FOR SALE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Locus partner Wynne Yelland and his family are selling nowHaus 01. Once the news made the Star Tribune Real Estate section Sunday, not to mention Warners&#8217; Stellian Twitter feed, it seemed silly not to relay the news here. Green building? Check. Chalkboard wall? Check. Wood interior walls? Check. Low operations cost? Check. Half a block [...]]]></description>

		<title>SCULPTURE, 60s MODERNIST, HIS WIDOW, MN, &amp; COR-TEN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in California recently, I caught up with one of our early clients, a couple who have slowly &#8211; but methodically &#8211; worked on their home since we started designing it in 1999. The abbreviated story goes something like this. In the mid 80s Roger, a metal sculptor, and Carol, a business consultant, [...]]]></description>

		<title>FUNNEL VS. ARCADE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aside from the obvious material differences revealed in the June 22nd article, Architecture is Too Expensive, I thought it noteworthy how the spatial proportions and contextual relationships contrasted one another in the Walgreens and Mission Santa Barbara “arcade” examples. A diagrammatic cross section through both conditions reveals differing priorities toward daylight access, views, and threshold. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shattering stereotypes and changing lives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On July 1, the Walker Art Center will be screening Citizen Architect, a film about Auburn University’s Rural Studio and its creator, the late Samuel “Sambo” Mockbee.  It’s a glimpse into a program that has brought architecture to a group of people who typically aren’t served by our profession &#8211; the poorest of the poor [...]]]></description>

		<title>ARCHITECTURE IS TOO EXPENSIVE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Waiting for a prescription, I escaped the overstuffed aisles of my neighborhood pharmacy only to end up outside on an overly sturdy and uncomfortable park bench, confronted with asphalt. With unidentifiable stains on the beige plastic slats, I&#8217;m guessing most people pass on the implied invitation to sit here. Small metal angles at the ends [...]]]></description>

		<title>GOSH, ADULTS THESE DAYS!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My seven year old was at a friend&#8217;s birthday party this weekend, which always reminds me of the first one we gave at our house for our older son&#8217;s eighth birthday. Twenty five banshees pounding, sprinting, diving, and crashing around our house &#8211; each with a cup of some sticky fluid in hand. Wait, why [...]]]></description>

		<title>REDWOOD &amp; WINE ON THE PORCH?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Past clients Paul and Martha asked us to create a porch and main floor bathroom for their century-old home in a historic district in Minneapolis, &#8220;&#8230;something with pizzazz, different, but without thumbing our noses at our neighbors, some of whom are strict traditionalists.&#8221; We answered by referencing the roof line and construction of the original [...]]]></description>

Use the Locus studio, #333, as your launching point to visit hundreds of open artist studios in the Northrup King Building. Jam that van with jewelry, paintings, sculptures, photography, fashion, [...]]]></description>
