"Every year I like to give my senior portfolio class the assignment of reimagining this identity. I make a point of handing it out in the dead of winter, which is exactly when I had to do it—the absolute worst time to design something with a beachy theme."

Praise for Citizens of No Place:

"It's not hard to find the appeal in Lai's archi-comics, which manage to do something most architects fail to accomplish: insert fiction into architecture....the sense of place is so strong, much more tangible than even the flashiest architectural rendering. Such is the power of fiction and the graphic novel in the hands of somebody with Lai's talents."
