True story, last night I dreamt that I had an architecture project due in a few days, and I hadn’t even started. The project involved designing a building of our choice on a lot in an urban neighborhood in San Francisco. After fretting for a long time about having not apparently worked on this project in the weeks we’d had to develop it, I decided to design a two-story building for Jeni’s, with a small, open shop on the first floor and living quarters for Jeni upstairs. I have not been in architecture school for over six years, and I did not know about Jeni’s when I was, but this is what my subconscious came up with. I think it’s safe to say that I’m a fan.
