The Prickly Mountain Gang Rides Again

If Yestermorrow is the tree of all design/build knowledge--and we think there are strong arguments that it is--then it also should be argued that this metaphorical tree has its roots firmly buried in Prickly Mountain. The boys and girls who have called that hallowed mound home are the stuff of legends and are still deeply involved in Yestermorrow. To learn more about their exploits please visit:http://www.wishtank.org/magazine/commons/prickly_mountain_gang_freedom_in_architecture/

While reading the story you will see names of folks who have served on our board, taught our classes, lent their children to us a interns, and helped us refine our mission and master planning process. Thank you Prickly for feeding our roots and leading by example. Long live Prickly Mountain!
