The other day, Natalie and I were going over our web pages making changes and discovered that we had missed making one of our logos an active link to the index page. This was surprising because that was something that was obvious and we had clearly missed it! At that moment, I once again realized what a huge undertaking it must be to design and produce plans for a commercial building. I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to work on an elementary school, office building, hospital, a huge prestigious resort, not to mention a stadium that would cost in excess of a billion dollars.
Not surprisingly, I have concluded that we are not perfect. When I say we, I mean we humans. Although, we may try to be correct, meticulous or stay focused, we still make mistakes. So when you make a mistake (and you will) who has your back?
When we at the Nigro Firm poke fun at the errors made on construction documents, we are not poking fun at any single architect or at architects in general, but are embracing and enjoying our shared imperfect humanness.
And if I know one thing, it is that imperfect humans need other imperfect humans to survive and prosper in life and at work, to watch each others backs and to catch each other when we fall.
How you go about surviving your imperfectness is up to you, but we like to take the happiest route possible...which is together.
