Eh, architecture schools are typically housed in art programs, aren't they? I know that's true at U. of Cincinnati at least (which used to be one of the top ranked architecture programs in the US - don't know its current status). I would expect most architects to have some creative bent even if it gets ground out of them by jobs like this.

This kind of architecture, though, the goal is to crank out blueprints and not to be creative. I assume you still need an architecture degree to do it, so it seems a little like getting a culinary education and then working to develop recipes for a frozen foods company. You need the education background and you're definitely working in your field of study, but it's not your job to create haute cuisine.

Seems like a low blow to take pot shots at someone for doing their job. I work in manufacturing and there are a thousand things I could do to improve systems we have, but the reality is - that time spent just doesn't give any ROI so I can't prioritize it over making new systems and fixing things that are legitimately broken. It all comes down to the balance sheet and working within the constraints of your organization.
