Abortions

One thing about my line of work... we designers have a sense of
parenthood/ownership over our designs... when we come up with something
we know will be really good... even if its on paper... we treat it like
our child. The problem is... not all good/brilliant work is
commercially viable... and at the end of the day, we have to help our
clients make money/finish the project. So... I'm wondering, how many
brilliant ideas/drawn buildings have not been carried out into
reality... how many architects/designers have looked at the drawings on
their boards/computer screens and winced in pain at the fact that they
know these things wont be built anyway? I know my dad has cried
silently over quite a few...



Well, I'm no master architect... but I'm starting to know how it feels...



I can't wait for the day that something I've designed actually gets topped off on site.



In the mean time, I'll be crying over my stillborn children... soldier on... and make new ones... hehehehe buildings I mean... not real kids.
