Contributing editor, Lisa Norman

Here’s a quote from the article the QKA marketing department thoroughly enjoyed: “I think that the new school has a great stage, kitchen, plants, playground, library and classrooms. I think the whole school is awesome. P.S.…It’s totally twenty-first century,” Sofia Seim asserts.

Aaron’s trip to Washington, DC

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I traveled to our nation’s capital a few weeks ago for an interview of all things. We are a part of an incredible multi-disciplinary team that is interviewing for a position as BIM consultant to the US General Services Administration (GSA). Other team members include Hallam-ICS, Blach Construction and Gregory P. Luth and Associates among many others. It’s a great opportunity and we are pretty excited about it.
In addition to talking about BIM and making the pitch to GSA I had a few hours for an evening stroll along the Mall including a visit to the new FDR memorial. Here are a few pictures.

QKA Local Visits Classroom

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

On Tuesday members of the QKA Local team for the Open Architecture Classroom Challenge (Chad, Tony and myself) visited the Americorps tutoring and after school program at Meadowview Elementary School in Santa Rosa.  We will be working with them to find ways to better use their portable classroom for their literacy tutoring and after school programs.  As you can see by these pictures, we have our work cut out for us.  Check back later for what our ideas are.
