dieter cartwright 1 Principal Warren Red New York I grew up in Tasmania, Australia. When I was 6 or 7 years old my parents were building their first house, and they spent many an afternoon resolving one problem or another over a cup of tea (or a gin and tonic if it was a little later)-drawing details out on scraps of wood (they don't fly away in the wind) with their builder. I didn't know it then, of course, but looking back I see that I was being included in what is now one of the most exciting parts of design for me: those hands-on, practical problem-solving charrettes needed to realize all our ideas in their built form. I would follow the builder around on weekends with my own house designs drawn up on graph paper, and he would patiently review them with me (on my parents' dime, I suppose). He and I still chat sometimes. 094 June 2015 hospitalitydesign.comhttp://www.hospitalitydesign.com
