bridger,
thanks for the reference.the stories in practice blog is indeed informative. i had to go back and look up stultifying...thats one of those GRE words =).
stul·ti·fy
tr.v. stul·ti·fied, stul·ti·fy·ing, stul·ti·fies
1. To render useless or ineffectual; cripple.
2. To cause to appear stupid, inconsistent, or ridiculous.
3. Law. To allege or prove insane and so not legally responsible.
i don't think architects potential to contribute is 'stultifying' quite the contrary, i think architects potential to contribute is quite vast...thats actually what i was trying to express. i just think that social change is not a part of the popular conception of architecture. i took an ethics in professional practice course that dealt with how the profession has wrestled with the role of the architect in society, so i realize that this is not a new or simplistic issue. however it is still hard to figure out one's place in the "professional" realm having such values.
i only post periodically so checking periodically is probably a good thing =).hopefully i wont disappoint =).
