Every why brings us closer to the root cause but also closer to a layer where things are harder and slower to change
At no point did we drop everything to focus solely on training. Instead, we made incremental improvements to the process constantly !

Building strength
Archiving the models allowed architects to keep the traces of creativity […]; de-archiving them meant they could rediscover those traces of design invention that time had left intact. !

The biggest part of our work [...] disappears automatically. [...] But you can't look at these designs as waste. They're ideas; they will survive in books. !
