I can design buildings that will outlive me, places people will grow up in. But by the time it's built, the budget and the client and the code have sanded my vision down to something I barely recognize. I stand in the finished lobby and feel the distance between what I saw and what got made.
More people experience this than they realize.
What actually gets built is a worn-down compromise of what you imagined.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
