The Designer

This is a true story. The names are omitted to protect the innocents.
There once was a man who was an ARCHITECT who wanted to design a LOW-COST
INDUSTRIALIZED HOUSING SYSTEM for building high rise tower (for poor people)
and he wanted to do it rationally. He thought it would be GOOD to have the cladding.
LIGHTWEIGHT and also to make it STRUCURAL. Furthermore, he reasoned that it
should be MODULAR in ROOM-WIDTH PANELS. So he started out his dESIGN With
PREFABRICATED STILL PANELS nine feet width with WINDOWS cut into them for
LIGHT. After a while he found out that steel doesnt come nine feet wide (not for lowcost Housing, anyway)- it comes up to six feet, eight inch wide. So he change hid
dESIGN and made the MODULE 68. Then he found out that the steel panels didnt
have fair resistance that was REQUIRED, so he decided to change from steel to
PLASTIC PANELS also didnt have the required fire resistance. So then he decided to
make the panels with cavity which he could fill with CONCRETE. But the CONCRETE
made the PANELS HEAVY.
So he decided to bring the PANELS to the SITE without CONCRETE in them, and to put
them in place and then pour CONCRETE into them. Then he found the cut that the
PANELS were too lightweight for the CRANE which had to lift them. So he decided to
fix a group of PREFABRICATED PLASTIC PANELS together on the ground with
WIDE FLANGE STEEL COULMNS AND BEAMS which would then become the
STRUCTURE as well as the LIFTING FRAME. The ASSEMBLY would be lifted into
place and then the cavities in the PANELS would be filled with CONCRETE.

The man who was an architect gained much recognition for having Designed a bEAUTIFUL
Building in PLASIC. But he ended up with PLASTIC CLADDING PANELS that were not really
structural, with a SIX FOOT EIGHT INCH MODULE that was not nine feet, with a
PREFEBRICATED SYSTEM which heeded wet concrete poured in place and was not
prefabricated, and finally with a lOW-cOST bUILDING that was not low cost.
