Dear Architecture,
I can’t believe it was nine years ago today that I last held you and looked upon your precious façade. You were so beautiful and in that moment we were so proud. Sometimes I can still smell you – fresh, new, sterile…

Read MoreArchitecture saturated with biophilia, engineered living systems, and utopian futurist visions are coordinated in this personal blog and portfolio by me, Leah Alissa Bayer, AIA, NCARB, LEED Green Associate. Peruse architectural sketches, conceptual design, and vivid storytelling then reach out and tell me about yourself - I love connecting with other passionate, creative people.
Oh hi there, I'm Leah. This is my site where I keep personal writing and projects that are not directly related to my practice, EVIA. I tell stories in writing about professional practice, licensure, architecture critiques, and random life adventures in the storytelling lab. I tell stories in design about place, people, time, and connectivity in the concept lab. Feel free to reach out, say hi, and share your own story!
