Message: [QUOTE="cuseinchina, post: 685762, member: 3079"] When you are spending this kind of money you hire a professional firm or risk looking really stupid when there are problems. who do you sue when the ceiling leaks or the football players have to wear sunglasses to keep out the glare from some weird detail the student put in? Grad students are generally pretty full of confidence and pretty light on 'having a clue'. The art and architecture worlds are closely related, my experience is more on the art side - but you go and see a show of work by recent MFA's and you can just smell the naivety. it takes 10 years or so before you have any idea who is any good. there is a degree of technical proficiency right out of school but that's about it. That said I like the idea of having an alumni competition to design the building. Just as long as there is an experience requirement to have your proposal considered. [/QUOTE]
