Hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but the Federal government regularly requires that their IT contractors are brought in from minority or “differently-abled” owned businesses. Let that sink in. It’s not architecture, but it is often networking, telecom, cybersecurity...
Egyptians did, not sub-Saharan Africans.
Think about it, somebody actually looked at all the concepts and said yep that’s the one, let’s go with it. It’s a veritable breakthrough in architectural design and engineering. And they wonder why they’re “held” back.
Affirmative action has made me “racist.” i would not trust a black architect or engineer knowing the possibility they only graduated college because of their skin color and not their talent.
Reminds me of another cartoon I once saw:
A construction crew is digging an enormous hole in the ground. The foreman, holding a set of plans, leans over the safety railing and shouts, “Stop digging! We were holding the plans upside down!”

Catch up ... that’s the claim they make - any semblance to reality is purely coincidental, like the claim they used to fly over the site back in the day - this was before Kwanzaa mind you.

Is that thing for real?
My late father worked as a project manager for a large building firm in NYC years ago.
When ever he would go on presentations to prospective clients they would tell my dad their biggest recruitment problem was getting young women to take entry level jobs or any job because they didn’t want to work in high rise buildings. And this was years before 9/11.
It was going to be for real, but New York state gov’t put a hold on it. They must be ray-ciss.
The most beautiful building in NYC is the Chrysler Building.

I think they just posted the photo upside down.
Anybody remember that walking bridge designed by women!?
That building is upside down!!
Ghana man! British educated. Great people. I was based there with an airline in the mid ‘70s.
