How many times have we come to a theater and found a set of
sixteen foot tall doors that open into a hallway that is only
eight feet tall? Or have a balcony that has no electric outlets
for the cleaning staff to plug in their vacuum cleaners? Or a
loading dock that has only three slots, two of which are
permanently occupied by dumpsters, and you have to make a 16 point
turn to get the truck into the remaining slot? Or any other of
an infinitude of bad building design examples? <br>
<br>
I have long advocated that anyone who is going to architecture
school must spend a year in a work study program. They should
spend time as a cleaner, a delivery truck driver, plumber,
electrician, maintenance worker, waiter, cook, busboy, security
guard, snowplow driver, and parking valet. I would hope that
they would make the buildings they design a lot better for the
experience. <br>
