Back to the Quarry, Howard

Designing inside the box:
    Historic renovations to older buildings and a regional boom in infill construction are fueling new design challenges for local architecture firms.

    Many of these projects are construction conundrums, such as designing a smaller building to maximize space or following “green” construction standards that call for energy-efficient design codes.

    Such challenges require architects to think about the big picture and the little picture when they design, said Michelle Swatek, executive director of the American Institute of Architects in St. Louis.
You have no choice, Howard. Give in, compromise!
