transparency

just finished a 50 min long cellphone conversation with a glazing supplier
felt like i was working
or having a private glass construction lecture
helped me out so much...i'm not actually buying their product, i'm just a student with a thesis, yet he took his time explaining all this glass stuff. amazing. in this corporate world, people don't just care about money...what a relief.
at one point in the conversation...he paused to ask, so is this building going to actually be built, and i thought, oh great, he's no longer going to help because i'm not actually going to buy from his company, but he asked because he wanted to know if i would need to compromise the project with the owner and developer, but i didn't so i could use whatever glazing system i thought was best.
he helped me design the glass portions...what a great guy. and mentioned so many issues i need to take into account...
glass is the most important part of my building,
construction with glass represents the architecture of today.
