Lets consider this..
Suppose the client dreams about working at some prestigious office at some tall grand building, say the old WTC or some office of the Empire State, should the architect build his study like the Empire State? What game is this to desperately want something and like a child cry about it? How many dads have the experience of giving a child a toy to pacify the child who is crying because he wants something? Look at these stupid clients. And these architects must have a great sense of humor.
Client: BAAAWWW! I want that building….. I want that building.. BAWHAWW!
Architect: son, I will give you something similar, now don’t cry...
Client: hmm. . Ok, but will you give me really?
Archtiect: yes son. Lets go home and you can have it..
AT HOME.
Client: thanks architect.. Now i feel like a proud owner of the Empire State. ha,ha.
Architect (to his friend architect): look at my son, so adoringly stupid... He thinks he knows it all. sweet stupid client. (he pays.)
And so the thing continues.
