Peter, you've done it again and I thank you profusely. You have now awakened those who think that the computer is the answer to everything. As Frank Gehry says, "It is a TOOL ..." and it is only a tool. It has been misused recently. You six points are accurate in every sense and I hope that the Colleges and Schools of Architecture wake up to these points and enliven the students once again as to their mission in this field. We have lost touch with inspiring those who are going to eventually become our successors. We have place an emphysis on all the WRONG things about our profession. Students are more interested in grades than in exploring, researching, drawing by hand, photographing, visiting great sites of architecture and learning from them in historical and technical aspets. Our students have been dumbed down to take profession exams that don't prove a damn thing about the responsibilities and obligations that we used to hold dear to our hearts. I could go on and on, but PETER, you have definately hit the nails on the head. BRAVO! Keep it up, for you are as inspiring to me as you were when you were a guest lecturer/ professor at the University of Houston in the late 70's. You woke many sleeping students and staid professors then and you continue to do so. Thank you!
