Last week, three of our Austin folks took off to the Big Apple. During their stay; Scott Chasteen, Alex Meyer, and Johanna Spencer visited USAI Lighting’s SOHO Collaboratory space where they tested, played, and enjoyed a full day of de-light. They were joined by Lisa Rogers of Spectrum Lighting, who contributed her lighting wisdom to the lessons of the day!

This summer another one of our folks had the chance to visit the United Kingdom; but now Worthing, Bath, London, Barnard Castle, Lake District, Llandudno (Wales), Oxford, and many, many, other amazing spots in the area. We asked her how many cups of tea she had, but apparently she lost count. Please enjoy a very English photo-documentation through the lens of Johanna Spencer.

During mid August Billy Schaefer had the chance to travel back "home" and enjoy a bit of the European continent. He made some pit stops that included London, Copenhagen, Malmo, and Sweden. He shared some good shots with us, check it out!

Last Tuesday, we had 4 future architects from Con Mi MADRE join us at Nelsen Partners for an office tour and a full day of activities and fun. We hope this little peek into the daily life of an Architect has convinced them to pursue architecture and start a rewarding career in design!
