Every building is in a quiet, constant negotiation with physics. We’re trained to see the forces at play: compression, tension, bending, torsion. But physics doesn’t stop at the building. And it doesn’t stop at our skin.
No. 12 What Wedding Planning Taught Me About Sustainability

I chose this theme because whenever we step outside our comfort zone, discomfort is part of the deal. Our nervous systems are wired to respond in familiar ways, and change is scary for most of us, myself included.
