@jeames_hanley The people that knew how to coordinate construction documents were let go in the last recession.
Many firms are hearing from contractors that construction documents are not what they used to be.
The arch’s that knew how were laid off and didn’t return.
I agree with this sentiment fully. It’s crazy that we’re still referring to this as R&D. When a manufacturer adds a new machine to increase throughput, they balance the cost against higher margin. This is a calculation that every firm seems incapable of.

@ArcolTech But that’s 90% of western architects serving the 1% that has the land and capital to hire architectural services
If architecture doesn’t ignore ageism, sexism, and racism — is it still architecture?
Architecture doesn't get better because people with fresh ideas aren't trusted to design buildings and people that design buildings seldom have new ideas.
