I take your point to a certain degreeI make things 'work' technically, it's what I'm trained for. I also branched out to do the whole scheme thing as well, so in reality, I do about 90% of a full architect's work.
Agreed not all Architects are technically minded for sitework, but then again,
not all Builders know how to read drawings properly, or know one end of a material from another,
or know how to pick up the phone to ask a simple question to sort the problem out and insist on calling a halt to all
work until someone comes out to spend probably 5 mins on site at most pointing out how the builder can scratch his own arse before work will commence again.

Don't worry,I know there are some good ones out there like my mate Nick in Athens. He's a friend of Dan Liebeskind ( who is not a good one ). My dad and I built the Lowry footbridge. It's still the best looking thing in the area and that includes the Lowry centre and the imperial war museum. That Leibeskind loves a shiny warehouse.

hahaha, swings and roundabouts really I guess.I do some freelance lecturing at a local College, teaching building design, and technology to an
assorted bunch of builders, architects, surveyors etc in the same group.
I find encouraging communication in the groups may better help the situation in later years, fingers crossed :)
I always end up stressing that they'll learn about 5% of what they need from the idiots (inc. me) teaching them at the front of the class, and the other 95% from talking with each other and discussing problems/experience etc etc
I'll have to email you some .pdfs of my plans sometime for your critical analysis ;)
