A FOOL AND HIS CLIENT'S MONEY

摘要

If you want to build anything bigger than a house, you need an architect. You might think it is a good idea to take on a big-name architect or at least an aspiring big-name architect. And, unless you're a millionaire or mad, you will watch your pennies. You might want the building to make you money, you might want to spend your savings on a pet project - if you're the government, you'll be spending money you've taken off everyone else. Now, put these things together - your precious cash and an architect who thinks he should be famous - and you've got a problem. Pretty soon your funds might fall foul of an architect's devil-may-care attitude to costs.
