Unable to get to Santa Fe this year, but it is heartening to hear that Bobby McAlpine got a good reception. His cross-disciplinary and integrative skills are unique, but not absolutely so. Just the type of guy that should have a TV series to show the world that there is more to life than the Property Brothers, etc. That architects can do it, and more. But many of us are are ground down to making a living to pay the bills, with AIA treating us like stepchildren. As far as I know Bobby has never spent time on the AIA until now. Kudos to CRAN- would that AIA pay reparations for decades of neglecting one of the most sensitvely skilled of all practice groups- those of us doing custom homes. Keep on truckin' CRAN.
