In advance of this evening’s Green Spaces Competition in Richmond (details here), check out this video created by 3north architect, Damon Pearson and interior designer, Emily Smith. The video was produced by Double Take, and 3north landscape architect Andrea Almond helped coordinate the video with Dominion Resources. 

Emily describes the video: 

“This was part of an investigation into who uses Kanawha Plaza… when they use it… and how they use it. We were able to observe sun patterns, circulation, and program from the 20^th floor of the Dominion Resources office building. All of this to provide additional understanding and context.”

This evening at Storefront for Community Design as part of First Friday’s Artwalk. Co-sponsored by 3north and Inaray.

Happening Now. AIA Richmond Architecture Week at 3north.

From the official tournament director:

Greetings and happy Maundy Thursday to everyone from The Corrugated Box Official Committee for the Oversight of Office Wide Gambling Affairs (CBOCOOWGA, for short).  The sweet 16 games are tonight, so I thought I’d check in with an update. 

 Thanks to everyone who is participating this year. 

It was a wild first weekend that has 3north’s resident Brit, Lissa Halliday at the top of the leaderboard entering the second weekend.  You would think that her origins would have her picking against the French, but she has them (LaSalle) winning it all.  This being somewhat unlikely (because the French are terrible at basketball), Tumblr’s Jim Coe “Laws” is standing strong in 2^nd, but his faith in Gonzaga and VCU leaves him vulnerable to be passed in the coming rounds.  3north’s own Nathan “Krush” Gruver rounds out the top 3 with a solid bracket and Louisville as his champion (I think they’re still the odds on favorite to win).  In the always exhilarating race for last place, circle S studio’s Katie Wright is leading, but with Louisville as her overall winner and few other teams still alive, I see her crawling up a few spots by the end.

 If I were a betting man (and I am, just not a very good one), I would keep an eye on and Erin Webb “of lies” and Scott “narrow hips” Broaddus for the top spot (not sure if that last nickname worked – see if it sinks in).  They both have live brackets with a lot of points to be had and favorites (Indiana and Louisville, respectively) for their champions.

Best,

From 3north’s Danny Macnelly:

A stomach bug has ravished the offices of The Corrugated Box Official Committee for the Oversight of Office Wide Gambling Affairs (CBOCOOWGA, for short), so please excuse the (relative) brevity of this missive.  But as the CBOCOOWGA motto goes, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of staying up all night due to severe stomach pain stays these couriers from the swift completion of their building-wide NCAA tournament pools.” 

 

For those that have participated in years past, the rules should be pretty similar and you may have already received an email from CBS Sports.  For those new to the game, here’s a quick run-down:

MONEY STUFF:

-  <As CBox does not condone gambling. Please contact the “Chancellor” for details.>

SCORING STUFF:

-          Each round has a total of 32 possible points, which breaks down to 1 point for first round games, 2 points for second, 4 for third, 8 for fourth, 16 for the final four games and 32 for the final. 

-          Adding to that will be the number of the seed that you correctly picked to advance.  So, for example, if you pick North Carolina (1 seed) to beat Eastern Kentucky (16 seed) and UNC wins, you will get 2 points (1 for the game in the first round and 1 for the seed).  If you instead pick Eastern Kentucky and they win, then you will get 17 points (1 for the game in round 1 and 16 for the seed).  This rewards people who pick the upsets (but not too much).

If you’re interested, just notify <dmacnelly at 3north.com> and I’ll make sure to add you to the invite list on the website.  From there, you should get an email from CBS Sports and it should be pretty self-explanatory.  And feel free to send me the email addresses of any friends and family that would be interested – they’re welcome to play.  You can either give the $10 to Andrea up front or, if you dare, you can venture to far recessed of the 3north offices and find me in the far back corner.

The deadline will be this Thursday at noon (no one pays any attention to the Wednesday games).

Thanks,

Danny MacNelly
