Founded as a "River Town" in 1825; Lafayette grew quickly and became a city in 1853. It was named after the famous French general Marquis de Lafayette; who helped America win its independence from England. In its more than 150 years in existence; Lafayette has come a long way. After the city celebrated its centennial; its growth remained stagnant from the 1960s through the 1990s. However; the addition of a Subaru plant and Wabash National changed this and started a movement that has turned the city into a major industrial and population center in the Hoosier state. Its continued economic growth is almost assured with the expansion of several plants and the addition of other companies.

I read it not as a building architect. but as someone interested in what other creative/engineering disciplines had to say about creative projects that I could apply to web projects.The authors needed a better editor. thats for sure. Theres lots of awkward writing here. and the interviews with architects are virtually unreadable. rambling. and vague.Those involved in web or software consulting will find not a lot new here--have the issues of client relations and creative services marketing really not had this kind of treatment before?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Andrew Otwells reviewBy James E. NicholsMr. Otwells difficulty lies in applying this book to computer software design. Unfortunately. "architect" and "architecture" have been misappropriated. to the extent that an entire generation is apparently unaware that these words once specifically referred to the physical design of the built environment. You know: houses? Cities? Is this thing on?I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture from California State Polytechnic College at San Luis Obispo in 1976. Both of the authors were faculty members. Paul Neel was Dean of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design. John Harrigan taught classes in Human Factors.
