Thank you to everyone contributing to this conversation. I have been enjoying each layer of insight added to the topic. The commentaries and poetry piece offered by Sean Catherall
was wonderful, the reflections offered by Rich Farris excellent, and so on and so forth.
as a professor of architecture, i decided to stay on the side and witness how most of you practitioners discuss this very important matter ... a topic that we (school of architecture faculty) must address day after day in the studio.
thank you ... it is reassuring and enlightening to have such thoughtful discussion by aia members
cheers
