Show REVIEW, May 5. 1966 B7 Ideals, $$ Clash In Architect Biz by Jeanle Kempe Architects do a lot more than draw 'pretty pictures. Anyone can do that, according to Wesley R. BuddofSned-ak- er andBuddArchltects. Mr. Budd maintains that the real problem is putting the building together, keeping it ,up and staying within the budget. There is often a clash between the ideal and what the buyer can afford, Mr. Budd explained. The architect first talks with the client and finds out what the client doesn't want. Maybe the client doesn't like copper and doesnt want copper anywhere in the building so we use galvinized iron instead. Sometimes the architect has to argue with the client. Youd be surprised at some of the1 crazy requests we get, he continued. 'Theyre not funny to the client, but theyre funny to us. So Mr. Budd listens to the clients requests and whims and finds out how much the client can afford. Materials make a lot of difference in the design of a building and if the client can afford something expensive and durable, the architect can use marble or granite. If the clients budget is limited, the architeoUwill use bricks or concrete blocks. But the designer must! stay within the limits of the material. There is nothing worse, the architect continued, than trying to make something out of something it Isnt. Mr. Budd condemned, for instance, the latent misuse of wood m barbecue pits. 1 dont understand why the wood doesnt burn, but in this case, the material does not express the function of the object The architect commented that it was not uncommon for people who cant afford wood paneling to plaster and paint their walls to look like wood. This he called 'stage-s- et architecture, and as far as Mr. Budd is concerned, it belongs mi the stage. EE $mpettaC Caipets Experienced to help you with any decor.

He referred to the High Rise Dormitory complex that Sne-daand Budd designed for Utah State University. We think this looks like a dormitory, he said. He pointed out that the windows are small, indicating that its not a classroom where there .should be a lot of light and large windows. The scale is also important he revealed. You might like a lamps color and design, but the lamp may be too small or too large for the table you have in mind. By the same token, the architect must remember that a human is involved. He mentioned that Cape Kennedy is reputed to have one of the largest buildings in the world. A human is lost in It, but it isnt made to house humans, its made to house rockets. Landscaping is another element that must be considered. Mr. Budd believes in preserving the natural beauty in an a structure ker area. 'Every tree andbush should be considered before planhe said. He praised ning, lls the architecture in the area, where large rocks are part of structures and buildings are built around trees and bushes. You should feel that a building just grew up out of Oak-hi- the dirt But Mr. Budd claims that architects are born, not made.' One in a hundred is a born he stated.

For instance, Budd and Snedaker heard about a new type of vinyl which is cushioned and feels like carpet when walked on. There is a large square of it in the office and Mr. Budd said they will probably try it for six months to see if it cracks and how it wears before actually placing it in new buildings. Mr. Budd graduated from George Washington University. His partner, R. Lloyd Snedaker, attended University of Utah and University of Michigan and received Ms masters degree at Harvard University. - flower-fres- h and cool I With summer's dampness squeezeo out!
