Contractor requesting ideas to value engineer this. Thoughts?

Just think about the meeting they had to value engineer this

Sorry thought your were talking about the other image. Youre right color would always be VE'd

My eyes

Why are architects so afraid of color?

Thinking of the Milam Residence by Paul Rudolph

This ends my TED talk

Architecture is a balance between societies needs and the individuals desires

Also, architecture should reflect the greater good. Architecture should serve the public, protect the public, reflect the public. Architecture should reside in the public realm. Give form to the needs of the masses, respond to the collective desires of the people. Architecture should provide shelter

Architecture should be aspired to

If architecture can be explained in simple digestible bits, it's probably not architecture that's worth having. Architecture should be aggressively contradictory and elusive. Architecture should raise concern. Architecture should confound and raise questions. Architecture should intrigue.

"Minus value engineering" should be added to all equations

Architecture = design concept - value engineering

Architecture = structures + optimism

Time = your clients money

Architecture = idealism / realism

Architecture = (creative concept + detailing) / the clients budget

Architecture = creativity + cantilevers

Less = more (+/-)

Architecture = (form + function) / financing

*note, you can't divide by zero
