As mentioned in a previous note, I am in the process of phasing out the name SO-AD. A few people have asked “why now?” and have offered excellent advice. The primary reason is that SO-AD was a group of people. Through its 9 year (wow!) life, SO-AD grew and shrank, shed and added people, and transitioned from a big idea to a solid small studio. Today, SO-AD is essentially just me. Jason Morris continues to work on exciting projects in Pittsburgh, including the final project that we began together, a single family house crafted out of a building that originally housed a trolley car depot. Jason is also teaching a variety of classes at Carnegie Mellon, while also assembling an army of adorable blond-haired, blue-eyed sons. Jason and I remain great friends and I look forward to working on projects with him again in the future.

So, let the shift occur. The SO-AD URL will remain, but it will soon redirect to my new website: http://burnsdavid.com. And this blog will now live here: http://burnsdavid.com/blog. I hope you will all follow me there….

All the best,
David
