QUOTABLE: “Architecture is the clothes that a city wears to a job interview.”

That 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. For someone like myself, curious about architecture but far from an expert, I just thought it provided an interesting lens through which to view the importance of the look and feel of our city … especially as our city interviews daily for attracting and retaining top talent.
