This became a running joke between us. Dad has ALWAYS preached about the importance of an education. (As a teenager this got REALLY old,,,you can imagine)
But, the funny thing is...my college 4th year thesis project, Take a guess what type of building I designed? A school! And I was not content to design JUST the school. I spent the better part of that year asking the question: what makes for a great education? And how does the built environment create a place where learning is optimal? Not only did I design the school, but I also spent a lot of time designing the curriculum for the school I was designing. That was ALL Dad. He instilled that in me. I am his daughter.
Len Baird is a passionate man. And while I didn't follow in his footsteps in medicine (I faint at the sight of blood) I did follow his example in following my passion. I LOVE design. And I knew before I ever knew what architecture was, that I wanted to create places that inspire people to live passionately. This is who I am. My father's daughter. Thanks to his passion and encouragement I followed my dreams of being a designer and today, I get to go to work every day and design great places to live, work and play. That is my father's legacy. And I am so proud to be Len Baird's daughter. Will you walk with us? For more information about the Alzheimer's Organization click here: http://www.alz.org/
