Work was hard to come by and we found ourselves doing mostly quick concept designs that never got off the ground. Definitely some aspects of "progress" have been very positive.

Those were the days when "WYSIWYG" was an exciting new concept. Definitely pre-digital, but I did try to run it through a early version of OCR. It does come close to the feel of a watercolour sketch. A digital sketch from a dozen years ago. Digitizer tablet. Another input device, but for commands. General specification.

How to translate the pure vision of the concept design team into a well-coordinated set of construction documents. I am a big believer in sketch sheets for internal use. Bottom line: I'm definitely a fan of apprentice type systems, be it for building trades or professions. The detailing, seen in real life is very impressive.
