To the respondents of my original message , a humble thank you. I have let my fees be cast aside due to
costs , yet at least you all have left me good reasons for returning as a member in the AIA . You all are showing
leadership skills in your own businesses and the communities you represent. Yes, there are circumstances in life and setbacks; but success comes from within and its up to each one of us to make something of ourselves with the skills we can develop , personally and or professionally.
The CAD interns that I may have generalized , will be the future of this profession and hopefully the role of "Architect" will still have some kind of meaning- artists and scientists in the procurement and development of buildings. The BIM-REVIT autodesk tools demanded of today , similar demand of autocad in the 90's and systems drafting of the 80's ; all were tools to make our lives more proficient and efficient. Times do change and people with it.
No, the world is not flat, without explorers to see over the edge to find its round, it does mean much.
