game time


i really like game shows. i'm sort of sad that we do not receive the game show network at our house and as a result, if i am ever in a house that DOES get GSN, i like to watch it. last weekend i watched a few brief moments of Pyramid with Donny Osmond, the new edition of The New $25,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark. it was ok... not as good as the Dick Clark version in my opinion... and then a few minutes ago, frustrated with our client at work, a slew of "clues" rushed into my brain. here, play along.
"because you are interested in design"
"because you can afford it"
"because you you want a well-designed space"

ready for my secret clue? it's "reasons why you hire an architect".

now, try this one:

"i know more than you about how people will use this space"
"why do you care so much about this?"
"i'm paying you too much"
"you want me to pay for printing?"
"you're taking too long"
i hope you got that one too... it's "things you might tell your architect once the design (and possibly construction) process is well underway"
