With Dan Rockhill
Teaching at KU
David Sain
I am a licensed architect and an adjunct lecturer at the University of Kansas. I have worked with Dan Rockhill in the design/build firm of Rockhill and Associates since 1988. I came to Lawrence to get some building experience with the expectation of leaving the Midwest and returning to a traditional architectural office. Thirty five-plus years later, my wife and I are still in Lawrence and I still occasionally work with Dan. At KU, I teach two building technology courses in the School of Architecture and Design. They are classes about how things are built and how materials are best used.
Over the years, I have found that what I most like about construction is working in the shop on unique custom assemblies. SAIN WORKS is my venue for exploring this kind of work on my own.
The Boathouse
I am a member of Friends of the Kaw (FOK) and volunteer regularly as Kaw River Guide. I am working in the FOK boathouse. I help maintain the building and in return use some space for a shop. The people of FOK and the Kansas River have become integral to my life and they shape the way I see the world and the type of work I want to do.
