FULL CIRCLE - From Idea to Synthesis to Production

We're exploring the idea of starting a new series of posts here at the TRPinc:::Blog:::. From time-to-time, we will all be sharing the things we do away from the office, that feed into our collective thoughts, influences, creativity and desire to "make" things in general. This series would be more about the individuals of TRP rather than TRP as a team. We see it as an opportunity to further share who we are and what we're about as a company.


As architects, the notion that an idea must end with its fabrication is second-nature to us.  Well published and highly acclaimed Swiss architect Peter Zumthor wrote:

"A plan, a project drawn on paper is not architecture but merely a more or less inadequate representation of architecture, comparable to sheet music.  Music needs to be performed.  Architecture needs to be executed.  Then its body can come into being."

Chase Wheeler, one of TRP's job captains, has offered to open this series with one of his recent projects, an entertainment console.
