GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Aladdin, Ron Clements & John Musker, 1992

I was watching Aladdin with my daughter and I realized that architects are like the genie in the bottle.  By definition, this profession literally creates the world around us.

But we are also bottled up by the constraints of circumstance and the limitations of our client. While tackling one technical problem after another, we can’t forget that we are the big silly blue genie with ridiculous power!

The hard part is getting the client to wish for it.
