89 wordsBusiness Record Insider, The Insider NotebookThat little memorable quote comes from a recent presentation at a Greater Des Moines Committee meeting by Claudia Cackler, executive director of the Iowa Architectural Foundation. It’s not her own quote; it was borrowed from Michael Smith, an architect near Melbourne, Australia.
