Over the past couple of days, some events have occurred that have drastically changed my perceptions . We recently had a situation where as an architect, protecting the client's interest became of utmost importance. The world as I had like to have believed is not always a nice place and people have a tendency to take advantage of other people. This often becomes more of an issue in the industry when people are taken for their face value and not for the value of their work!
Back in college, any conversation with our Dean had to be put into writing or wasn't considered. I didn't give it much thought then but now I realise how important documentation is. People will often say things but not deliver the same . This can be detrimental for architects and clients - both in terms of time and money. This whole experience has been an eye-opener for me. It only makes me wonder how much easier it would've been for our client if only she had taken a written document over someone's word...
