This goes back to the previous post (Aug 13).
Architects play it safe because they don't spend the time leading construction.
I've heard rebuttals about this, where the antagonists claim their "site-visits" are timely, even "pro-active".
"Site-visits" are like driving by looking in your rear view mirror. You see what's behind but little of what's ahead. That's not proactive... it's reactive, and you miss a lot. It's a dangerous way to drive, because eventually you will crash... just as some golf projects of this type do.
An architect leading construction daily is both proactive, and reactive. He analyzes and seeks opportunities to improve the feature(s) before it is built, communicates the vision personally and monitors its progress... changing things in real-time, not after the fact. That's a method of design where the architect aims for the sky.
