Opposition

The topography of the model is under construction as I write this. I am the first and only person to oppose the method of construction. I care much for precision, much like any architect should. Those working on the base did not foresee the issue of un-planed wood being laminated together. I argue that the gaps will show and become more pronounced as the topography is cut out from each longitudinal section. Their argument is that it will make the model look more "natural." I argue that means poor craft. They argue that it's already half way done, and we've already gone through the first supply of wood. Everyone except for maybe one person is against me. This makes me think that none of them will make good architects. Who knows?

I always tell myself that a good architect means being precise at the smallest of details, so that the finish product will show it. If it means they start over, so be it! Isn't this what an architect would tell a general contractor if he saw a poorly constructed wall? This group has only been working on that base for 2 or so days, it would be silly to not even consider my suggestions.

After this, I went to eat lunch, but I came back and the so-called leader of the model base group
came and had a discussion with me. He wanted to let me know that I wasn't being blown off (bullshit), and that I should come down there and give more of my opinions because they have noticed that I'm good with details. Personally, I think it's a load of crap, said just so that I won't be upset or so they won't feel bad about this occasion. I honestly feel that I will continue to butt heads with the rest of the people because I have much higher expectations for craft.
