Reassigned

And so the subdivision project I was working on for the past 5 months was finally put to rest, this prompts my veep to reassign me to another boss for another project. It involves a lot of site coordination and management, and its really exciting because its a change-of-pace and it gives me the chance to learn new stuff on the site.

Its been good so far, I jive well with my new boss, he gives me leeway with decisions and matters of aesthetics, but the thing is, my job has mostly been about patching up the oversights that the project's main architects have let through. Its alarming because, you'd expect more from them, but they seem to be coasting along with their work.

One more thing, how can I have a sense of authorship over the project, when its not mine in the first place, and if thats the case, shouldn't they take the lead in fixing their own mistakes?

It sucks to cover their ass for them.

When I was doing schematic plans and designs, I was frustrated because I wasn't being tapped to implement the work... I don't get to see the realization of my ideas.

Now that I'm working on site, its frustrating because the problems that I'm solving now could have easily been prevented had I helped out in the scheme/concept in the first place.

Oh well... Its all part of the long, arduous, frustrating learning process... I wonder how many more years will I have to be in the making before I get to see my own lines on paper get built on site.

As Eero said: "Architecture evolves in elephant time" ... so do the people involved with it.
