00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720
Please Lance, tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,920
You know, my vision is one where the architects

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,360
finally start taking back the master builder role.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,680
When architects, the original definition was master builder.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,680
And in previous times to modern industrial society

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,640
that we live in right now, architects actually did it all.

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,480
They were the drawings, they did the engineering,

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,040
they did the building, and they had a lot more respect

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,400
and I think we had better architecture.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,760
So that is my vision.

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,520
And I've been doing that by being both of those things,

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,200
an architect, a builder, and a real estate developer,

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,160
which is a rarity as an architect.

14
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,280
A lot of architects just wanna sit in a cushy office,

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,480
draw beautiful buildings, good for them.

16
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:43,920
I used to be one of them.

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,600
But as a guy who started out being a builder first,

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,360
way back when in North Dakota where I grew up,

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:59,360
I couldn't help but sort of fuse all three together.
