Every generation of CDS citizens includes a few who take the initiative and develop the skills to continue our tradition of excellent building and design that began with the construction of the original NFS. It is very important that we welcome those people who contribute to the visual richness of our community as well as organizing others to extend and strengthen the society of builders and designers in CDS.
Arria has done an important job in contributing to the community through organizing and supporting other designers. Its not just the monastery as the product of their work, but the fact that designer / builders have learned quite a lot, and continue to learn by participating in the project. This kind of initiative and contribution is important to our continued survival and growth.
It is important that we give official recognition and support the efforts of those who step forward to lead us in creative and productive ways. I strongly support Arria’s candidacy for Guild faculty chair. She deeply understands what the position is about and will do a very fine job in implementing its mission.
