We aren't told who writer Charles Holland is (a blogger acting as his own editor ? The owner of this online "magazine" ?) but he seems to know something of his subject. A favorite line: "The individual architect, armed only with a set square and pencil, working away on some grand scheme that has no obvious deadline, client or contact with reality is a persistent cinematic myth."

I disagree. I have created grand schemes for 77 years without any intention or hope of realizing them. It's fun.

Right. I suppose that was what was behind George Costanza's "I have always wanted to be . . . an awchitect."

"You know the addition to the Guggenheim Museum ? I did that. Didn't take very long, either . . .!"
