"When you come away from a building and feel pretty excited, not because of the building, but because of something that has gone on within you while you were in that building — then you are getting pretty close to architecture." #QotD

  1. When you come away from a planning meeting at council with a prescriptive plan of what is likely to be approved you can be pretty sure you are moving away from architecture.

    1. Funny. A client and I were having that very conversation earlier this morning. :-/

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
