I got hooked very early on the idea of using the power of computers to assist the profession in design, documentation and construction management.

The task was to demolish a 1980s addition, restoring the building to its original design, and then adding our own additions. The model is not clean enough to develop construction documents so we have passed along that task to another architect.
