"You argue with yourself. You become enough of a critic to overcome the euphoria of an idea. You have to bring the euphoria to something which is manageable, which works, which is within your budget." - Don Erickson

I haven't heard an architect express the architect's conundrum in that way; quite refreshing.

I stayed there a couple of years ago. It was in fairly good shape though mostly empty.
Quite interesting inside.
