'Pull up a chair, order your favorite drink, and let me tell you about architecture in the “ real ” world. I thought I would try to make this an upbeat article but as I sit down to write it, I’m not so sure how successful a job I am going to do (good thing we’re drinking here, right?)

'Redlines. It’s just a word but if you are in certain circles, it’s a powerful word. “Redlines” is all you have to say to either send some into some form of post traumatic stress disorder while the face of others will light up as if you just said “You’ve won the lottery!” … I probably fall somewhere in the middle.
