Your statement further simplifies the comment. The perception is that architects worry less about client satisfaction than their perceived ego. However, the vast majority of practitioners never have a building photographed in any publication to justify your comment. The work of a few "star" architects in publication does not speak for the thousands of successful projects carried out by my fellow practitioners. There are plenty who value the satifaction of the client and most would not be in business without that attitude. I'm personally not upset by your comments regarding architects, but I feel you have obviously missed out on the services of some fine members of this profession, who just like you, believe that quality and satifying the client's needs, wants and budget are paramount to the success of any project. ======================================================================= W.
