Awhile ago, Ted made an off-handed comment about architects. He said something like "Architects don't need to be really good at anything...just decent at a lot of things." I disagree. I feel that in order to be a "great" architect you need to be excellent at one thing...at least. But I do think that since architecture is really a combination of so many disciplines, one cannot possibly posses an "excellent" skill set. Is the ability to understand and utilize your strengths and weaknesses in order to create architecture a skill unto itself? I would like to think so.
And I don't think this applies only to architecture, but rather most design disciplines. I definitely see how it applies to film and stage design. Also thinking about Rosalyn, I'm sure the need to possess a certain combination of skill sets also applies to creating poetry. I'd be interested to hear about how your architecture education translated, or didn't, into what you are doing now.
Any thoughts?
