Another amazing trip to the American College of the Building arts in Charleston, South Carolina. I’m in the stone carving workshop today and the syncopate rhythm of the many chisels at work always soothes my soul. #buildingartscollege #charleston #stonecarving

Thank you to the American College of the Building Arts. I am so proud of the work I accomplished there and it is a great honor to be named professor emeritus. This round table discussion about craft was joined by alum Guyton Ash of Artis Construction and Dean emeritus Simeon Warren of Warren and Daughters stone carvers. Ably moderated by my friend Tham Kannalikham. I thank them all and all of the people who attended from far and wide especially our students and alum for which this— all of this —is for.

I am enjoying Marrakech and the opening of Hamish’ stunning exhibition of his personal collection of vintage YSL haute couture and pret a porter fashion. Ever the architect, I am studying the stage setting as well. The whole thing seamless and flawless. #hamishbowles #yslmarrakech @hamishbowles
A few shots from Gayer Anderson Pasha’s lovely home in Cairo. Now a museum it houses his diverse collection of egyptian and other exotic objects. The whole, and a life tenancy given back to the government at his death.
