and<00:00:58.620> architects<00:00:59.100> today<00:00:59.219> we<00:00:59.940> are<00:01:00.120> for

now<00:01:03.359> who<00:01:03.780> do<00:01:04.019> we<00:01:04.199> have<00:01:04.320> to<00:01:04.500> blame<00:01:04.799> we<00:01:05.519> can<00:01:05.640> only
now who do we have to blame we can only
now who do we have to blame we can only
blame<00:01:06.060> ourselves<00:01:06.420> over<00:01:07.020> the<00:01:07.260> last<00:01:07.320> 50<00:01:07.619> years

the<00:01:09.240> design<00:01:09.360> and<00:01:09.600> construction<00:01:09.840> industry<00:01:10.500> has
the design and construction industry has
the design and construction industry has
gotten<00:01:10.979> much<00:01:11.100> more<00:01:11.280> complex<00:01:11.640> has<00:01:12.060> gotten<00:01:12.360> much
gotten much more complex has gotten much
gotten much more complex has gotten much
more<00:01:12.659> litigious<00:01:13.619> and<00:01:14.100> we<00:01:14.280> Architects<00:01:14.820> are
more litigious and we Architects are
more litigious and we Architects are
cowards<00:01:15.900> and<00:01:16.320> so<00:01:16.500> as<00:01:16.680> we<00:01:16.920> have<00:01:17.040> faced
cowards and so as we have faced
cowards and so as we have faced
liability<00:01:17.760> we<00:01:18.180> have<00:01:18.299> stepped<00:01:18.720> back<00:01:18.900> and<00:01:19.619> back
liability we have stepped back and back
liability we have stepped back and back
and<00:01:20.460> unfortunately<00:01:20.880> where<00:01:21.240> there<00:01:21.479> is
and unfortunately where there is

So<00:01:25.680> eventually<00:01:25.979> we<00:01:26.220> have<00:01:26.340> found<00:01:26.520> ourselves<00:01:27.000> in
So eventually we have found ourselves in
So eventually we have found ourselves in
a<00:01:27.600> totally<00:01:27.840> marginalized<00:01:28.500> position<00:01:28.680> way<00:01:29.220> over

now<00:01:31.200> what<00:01:31.380> did<00:01:31.500> we<00:01:31.680> do<00:01:31.799> we're<00:01:32.159> cowards<00:01:32.759> but
now what did we do we're cowards but
now what did we do we're cowards but
we're<00:01:33.180> smart<00:01:33.420> cowards
we're smart cowards
we're smart cowards
and<00:01:35.280> so<00:01:35.460> we<00:01:35.579> redefined<00:01:36.299> this<00:01:36.600> marginalized
and so we redefined this marginalized
and so we redefined this marginalized
position<00:01:37.380> as<00:01:37.740> the<00:01:37.979> place<00:01:38.159> of<00:01:38.340> architecture<00:01:38.820> we
position as the place of architecture we
position as the place of architecture we

and we are going to do something that
and we are going to do something that
was<00:01:49.320> horrible<00:01:49.680> for<00:01:49.920> the<00:01:50.040> profession
was horrible for the profession
was horrible for the profession
we<00:01:51.840> actually<00:01:52.020> created<00:01:52.380> an<00:01:52.619> artificial<00:01:52.979> Schism
we actually created an artificial Schism

now<00:02:25.680> I'd<00:02:25.860> argue<00:02:26.280> that<00:02:26.400> that<00:02:26.580> is<00:02:26.760> as<00:02:27.000> absurd<00:02:27.540> as
