While surfing the web with a glass of Riesling this week, I happened upon the employee blog for architecture and engineering giant HDR. BLiNK is a blog written by various HDR employees on a wide variety of topics: design, culture, planning, photography and art, recent projects, and even using Revit to design a quilt pattern.
As would be expected from a company blog, the posts aren't particularly incendiary. They are, however, well-written and edited and even thought-provoking, such as the notion that using the auto setting on your camera is akin to cheating, or the acknowledgement that architecture as a profession is about careening from one deadline to the next. It's interesting to read other people's thoughts about design and culture in a way that's clearly written for nonarchitects or those new to the profession. I'm not sure how much (if any) veto power HDR has over its bloggers, but the posts are overall an excellent way to engage staff and possibly even engage the general public with architecture.
