Practice

摘要

I dearly love the architectural community, I love the beliefs it holds true, the type of person it calls its own, the good it does and the way it wears it's heart on its sleeve. I love the fact that it works overtime and I love the fact it does so for the most part unpaid. In our collective double helix, it is as much a part of being an architect (read: any vocational career) as RAL 9010 and is ingrained in our culture from day one of architectural study. I for one certainly don't want anyone in Brussels, Portland Place or anywhere else telling me it's verboten. Overtime, however, should be a matter of degree and, more pertinently, a matter of choice.
