You have confirmed a lot of my beliefs as an architect that i could not put into words. The great recession hit our firm in 2009 Barbados British West Indies

I reduced a 8 man practice to one (me ) and wife. Appied many of the skills you mentioned and opened a beach bar and grill . It unfortunately failed due to bad partnerships mostly .

I will order the book you have mentioned .

By the way you can google me or see my profile oin Linkedin or visit web site > adawkinsarchitect.com

You remind me of the architect I wanted to be when I graduated USC in los angeles . My life and practice went to the caribbean instead .
For the better im still hoping…lol

Take care and the greatest of encouragement to you and practice .

Would be good to meet one day and compare our great recession notes .

i am

Aubrey Dawkins -RA, BIA
Architect

Anyway, it’s still an insightfully, painfully, humourously great critique – now write the screenplay!

Because the movie this post spoofs is a period piece, I felt it makes sense in context to describe actors and actresses as stars and starlets, and architects similarly. It either works or doesn’t work (you’re suggesting it doesn’t work) in the context of the piece. It is not my intention for this to be sexist or to offend anyone. My apologies if it comes across that way.

Shouldn’t they both just be “starchitects”? Starlet is not only archaic, but also a feminine diminuative and (hopefully unconciously) sexist.
