If I make Jack an architect, it's a different book than if he is the structural engineer. Today, I started actually thinking, well, maybe he doesn't work for the architectural firm at all.
I've never worked on a job where the structural engineer and the architect worked for the same firm. (Of course I have no idea of the time or place of this book, so this may have absolutely no merit.) Anyway, the structural engineer has always worked for a separate consultant - subbed on the project to the architect's firm like the MEP (mechanical/electrical/plumbing) and civil.
If my angsting gets tiresome, as I suspect it does, well, sorry. Feel free to go visit instead the journals of other writers who have a better idea of what they are doing.
Not a bit of it. I admire your ability to face the fear of wondering if you have done the wrong thing and to press on anyway.
