This year, DPA Architects is celebrating 25 years in business. This journey has provided a birdseye view of significant changes within our industry as well as a host of changes in everyday life. I saw a reprint of a Radio Shack ad from 1991 the other day. It highlighted a host of “ On Sale “ electronic products including a PC, cell phone, CD player, cassette tape recorder, VHC Camcorder and more. Amazingly, our smart phone today provides all of those functions and many more. The social media craze has taken us by storm….whether good or bad, I think it is here to stay.
The early 90’s also found me pursuing another passion that still continues today. Backpacking ! It began with an invitation as a replacement for a hike in the Grand Canyon. The passion continued throughout the years with many hiking adventures around the world. Fortunately, I continue to find myself yearning for the pain and glory of the Grand Canyon. To date, 15 or more hikes in the Grand Canyon have fortified wonderful memories and visions one can only experience by doing.
Along this journey, CRENAB came along ! As an ORIGINAL POUR, it’s been a fun and valuable resource for seeing old friends and meeting new ones. There’s an old saying….the more things change, the more they stay the same. It may not be so true for our ever changing society, but it is for the CRENAB way…………
