Yesterday was the last chance to see the work of architect Michael Wenrich and Robert Mantho (LOCUS) at the Charlottesville Community Design Center.

Hobby and work, can they mix?
November 16, 2007 – 12:21 am
By trade I am a theatre designer who is currently teaching and my hobby is working on computer on various projects unofficially. I have been mixing those two for quite some time and I can actually see the two merging at some point in time. I am fond of lighting design and I think more [...]
