The article is a fair article in general for the general public with generalizations about how an Architect should generally act, rather than be chosen. The meat of the article is really the list at the end "How to Draw Out the Right Architect" and should have started the article and then shifted to the potatoes about "The Client with Many Heads" and "A Kid's-Eye View".
The first three paragraphs about hearsay and personal opinions were unnecssary and not up to "Edutopia" standards particularly at the begining of a serious subject. It seems to me that the author was not listening and therefore failed to "connect" the educational community to the planning and design community.
