It was upon the time, there was an RFP which I ignored because I was bitter by the process, the "smoked room handshakes deal" that would kill any clean competition beofre the race began. So, I just brushed it off. But today, as I was getting ready to go to the office between drying my hair and finishing my daughter's homework, a dear and beloved friend called me, AM I will call him. He asked him if I was going to the pre-RFP meeting and I was too polite to say "NO" so I replied, "I am thinking about it". Well, he convinced me, and I went to this otherwise place that may have been forgotten by God at some point, but not dismissed by the big guns in architecture. So, we are pursuing this project... a civic center, library and other stuff. I know we can kick some serious "butt". All those carpet baggers and wanna-bees cannot possibly get what the project is all about. Our executive architect is the same one who will be the executive for Zaha Hadid, so, as we say in my neck of the woods, "what the hell, let's go down in flames and if we have to, we will take everyone with us". I think we have a shot to the project, because we understand the area, and we are not coming from the "you people point of view" but rather, from a deep understanding of the nuances of what makes a project such as this great. Now, we have our work cut out for us. We need to convey our intentions, goals and understanding of the Client's dream... the rest are just details which in the scope of things, they don't matter as being in a mission that comes from within.
