  • 1.  The Architect's role

    Posted 12-04-2014 08:55 PM

    Gentlemen:
    I have for to long put up with the intrusion of "those who would be architects" trying to CADD and Revit the world.  It is an honor  to be a professional architect who has both art and science. Lets get the world to recognize that we as architect are professionals and equal to the doctors, dentists, and lawyers who commands the lions share of the public money.  I would not let an architect take out my appendix and I would not have a Doctor design my home.

    Last week I traded some design services for an appendectomy.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.
