The Northwest Eco Building Guild is once again sponsoring it's Green Building Slam and Board & Vellum is presenting! We're partnering with Model Remodel to present our ten minute dissertation on why Ada's Technical Bookstore & Cafe is so very cool... and green! The focus is local, sustainable building projects, and Ada's couldn't be a more appropriate project for the slam.

The event kicks off at the UW's Kane Hall on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 5-10 p.m. If you want to cheer us on, get your tickets here.

Use Your Words (Even When You Can’t)

Even in a profession where we quite literally draw pictures to communicate, words are incredibly important, too. Use them carefully, and precisely to get the job done right, and don’t forget that words can communicate very differently if they are said out loud versus written down, and there’s a time and place for both.

Channeling Experience: Storytelling in the Spaces We Design

Although we humans have invented new ways of sharing knowledge beyond the sharing of stories to one other over the firepit, storytelling is a key part of our culture. (Who doesn’t love a good story?) But beyond the stories we tell out loud, there is storytelling in spaces we design, too.

Unlikely Inspiration: The Strange Journeys of the Creative Process

A lot of times, unlikely inspiration solves your problems. To non-designers, it may seem a little crazy, but just as any odd thing can remind you of something else entirely, for designers, that experience often triggers their brains about a project they are working on, taking them on a mental journey towards a design solution.
