Ironically I'm an HVAC/Plumbing engineer who works on many of the buildings you guys cream your pants over. Many that you hate, too, come to think of it...
I'm come here for the sheer enjoyment of watching you guys moan and wail about such and such development for such and such reason. It's a hoot.
Think of it as an experiment: I'm trying to figure out what makes you fickle, effete architects tick. Consequent you should keep in mind I know very little about architectural design as such, just that at work I have to work around architects' work no matter how awful it "looks".
Your design complaints (what most of you seem to talk about) generally fly over my head, your reasoning making very little sense to me. As an example there was a discussion a while ago about some set of buildings proposed for Eau Claire: most of you complained about it's massing. I sniggered at the comments, 'cause I haven't a bloody clue what the hell 'massing' is, nor do I imagine that, had I known the term, I'd find it particularly consequential.
Druh Farrell? Still a flake, my friend. Not as bad as the douchebags on council like Diane Colley-Urquhart and Madeleine King, but a flake nonetheless. Don't take it particularly personal: I don't really like any of them anyway.
