Default what i do for a living

this is the project i've been working on for the last 3.5 yrs or so (i'm an architect), up until about 6 months ago. the exterior skin is about 75% finished now. you can see the steel framing for part of the top going up, and then there's another layer slightly higher and inside that. should be all buttoned up on the outside by the end of the year.

My brother in law has always wanted to be an architect, even went to Harvard for his master degree. But now he's working in Dallas, slavin' away at low wages and doing all the dirty work (studying for his license). Guess that's what you have to go through to be on your own in your line of work?

Cool building, BTW Does it have any earthquake protection features?
