I'm curious to what extent this petty bullheadedness leads to clients being
railroaded into paying for the construction of buildings that are
nonfunctional for their purposes yet well designed? My experience with new
design architecture comes from fiddling w/ the impractical constructions of
Cornell architecture grads let loose on the surrounding county. Once they
have been through the erotic fire of their peers and mentors the rest of the
world must truly be dimly lit by comparison.
