Architecture: A note about my teachers and guiders of this great art form
Although I use to be the Administrative Asistant to the University of Detroit Mercy's Dean of Architecture in my past life, I was blessed and honored to work with whom I consider geniuses in the architecture profession. I haven't kept in touch with the faculty as I should, but when I recall the experience of being around these creative masters, I realize I was surrounded by God's angels. I learned alot about Architecture by attending the lectures, alumni events, and even sat in on a couple of classes. In particular, two people who have enriched my architectural experiences are:

Stephen Vogel, FAIA - Dean, University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture

Dan Pitera, Director- Detroit Collaborative Design Center-UDM School of Architecture

If you guys ever cross the paths of this blog, I hope you both know that I appreciated your willingness to answer questions or share your experiences of architecture with me.

With much Peace and Profound Admiration Always, --Leslie
