All I can say is thank goodness for this election!
I use old envelopes to write shopping lists and other notes on. But my supply has been dwindling because I don’t get many letters any more.
Week 1 of the campaign and I already have enough supply to last me several months.

A pile of white envelopes and postal vote application forms.

Bibliothèque Éva-Circé-Côté, Montréal, Canada

The former St-Gabriel fire station was designed by Joseph A. Mercier and built in 1891-92. Following the merger with the city of Montreal, it was decommissioned and converted into a library in 1976. At the occasion of its recent renovation, the library was renamed after journalist, author and Montreal's first professional librarian Éva Circé-Côté.

Exterior of a three-storey Beaux-Arts building, with a stone-clad main facade to the right and a simpler, brick facade to the left. A narrow square tower marks the angle, and another brick tower is seen at the back. There is snow on the ground around the building.

Bibliothèque publique et scolaire d'Orbe, Switzerland

The public library in the town of Orbe is located inside a former prison. The 14th century building was first a hospital before being converted into the town jail in 1835. The cells remained in function until 1960. The library now shares the building with a small theatre, although there are plans to build a modern library to replace it.

Inside of a former prison cell with stone walls and a timber roof. A heavy wooden door with iron fittings and a peephole is propped open to the left of the image. Converted into a library, the room has shelves along the walls and a table in the middle. A barred window pierces the back wall.

Bibliothèque Colette (La Nef), Dijon, France

Originally part of the Saint-Etienne Abbey, this church briefly served as the Dijon cathedral before its secularization. In the 19th century, it was used as the Chamber of Commerce. Now it's split between a branch of the Dijon public library and administrative offices for a nearby museum. Happy Sunday!

Touching down lightly here to say, Happy New Year! I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted here. Though I post often on IG, a habit I suppose, I am not so often on here. I love this platform but it stopped working on my phone, that is probably why. How is everyone?!

In my catching up mode, here are three good things...

1. My #HouseReno is coming along beautifully and the #RetainingWall I was so worried about is being reconstructed today. Though it was supposed to all be done by the middle of last August, a combination of delays, weather and adding more items to the scope, have extended the schedule. It's OK. I love it.
2. I'm well into my doctorate in business admin program (focus on #OrganizationalLeadership) and really enjoying it. For the most of each of the days and weeks leading up to an assignment being due, I feel like I'm grappling with concepts (I don't have an MBA; this is a #DBA). Then, in the hours before, during and after submitting an assignment, I think, "wow, that wasn't hard at all." I am learning!
3. Work is fascinating, daily, and I feel so fortunate to be connected to bright, solutions-focused people working in architecture and engineering. My projects are now spanning two countries and involving more #CarbonModeling and #Sustainability oversight. I do a lot of quality control reviews of #HistoricRestoration / #AdaptiveReuse sustainability-related projects. It is emerging.

This is a superb piece by John Dobbin of Shay Cleary Architects on how we can adapt existing redundant office buildings from the 60s, 70s and 80s into city centre residential units fit for the 21st century.

www.linkedin.comWhy do Bad Office Buildings make Good Residential Buildings? A study of typology and opportunity in Dublin.There can be little doubt that we are heading into a pandemic of vacancy in older office accommodation in the center of our cities. The reasons for this are manyfold, not least of which is the lingering Covid19 pandemic and the way it has impacted on the habits of office users and corporate occupier

The regeneration of three blocks of apartments built in the 1960s will increase the number of homes by 40% without demolishing any of the existing flats.

This is sustainable residential development at its best. Credit to Grafton Architects and Dublin City Council for this initiative
