The architect extraordinaire pictured above happens to be my little cousin, but I'm not biased or anything. Luca Franceschina stands next to his latest incarnation of a Starbucks cafe, following in his Father's footsteps as a former in-house architect for the Starbucks brand. Please note the well thought out entry and exit and also the space "out back" for outdoor seating. When asked by Luca what my favorite part about the structure was I replied "the great circulation", and upon further explanation this compliment was deemed satisfactory. When asked if he was perhaps better than many adult designers, I replied with a resounding "YES!".
In all seriousness, this child is inspiring to watch, and I wasn't kidding when I said he was a better designer than many adults working today. His diligence and passion are what every designer young or old should have in abundance. Our lives would be more beautiful because of it.
