“‘You know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's twenty five hits. Twenty five hits in 500 at-bats is fifty points, okay? There's six months in a season. That's about twenty five weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one, a gork, a ground ball - a ground ball with eyes! - you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week and you're in Yankee Stadium. You still don't know what I'm talking about, do you?’”
- Lawrence “Crash” Davis (Perf. Kevin Costner), Bull Durham. Dir. Ron Shelton. Orion Pictures, 1988. Film.

Heading West
Not to see Oceans
Not to see Lakers
But to Show and Go
About the indefinite, uncertainty
the boundless, 
chance inspiration
I’m not bringing a hammer, but nails.
About what you don’t do, limit the strokes
looking for coherence with incompleteness
I don’t know

About the Artists:
​A fourth-generation Southern Californian, Robin Donaldson was born and raised within the SoCal surf and skate culture. Before founding ShubinDonaldson, he received a Bachelor’s in Studio Art at UCSB, focusing on painting and printmaking. He then attended the Southern California Institute of Architecture, receiving his Master of Architecture and winning the Henry Adams Medal. During his SCI_Arc studies, Robin began working with Morphosis Architects and served as the Project Architect on the Crawford Residence. In 1990, Donaldson founded ShubinDonaldson Architects. Today he lectures at AIA events, academic institutions, devotes time to AIA advisory boards, and serves on community planning advisory boards across Southern California. 

Donaldson’s creative force is at the heart of advancing SD’s design ethos. He leads the firms’ investigations between buildings and topography/landscape integration, representation and drawing sensibilities, and unique fabrication methodologies. His interest in exploring new possibilities for conventional building typologies also includes leading ShubinDonaldson’s research and development efforts.
