Just two years after “Art Deco” was introduced to the world in 1925 at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, architectural and business visionaries in Houston began planning and building one of the most iconic buildings west of the Mississippi. It was called The Gulf Building, and it epitomized the Art Deco style.
The process of hiring an architect for a custom home design, or for remodeling rooms and spaces in an existing home, can be intimidating for many. This is like the feeling one might experience when hiring an attorney or CPA. The training and knowledge required for these services are highly specialized and can require a hefty investment on the part of the client.
Once they’ve decided to build a new home, future residents huddle with their architect and builder to discuss the details of this sizable investment. Many who opt for brick construction are pleasantly surprised to learn that they have many color options from which to choose. It’s then that the real fun begins.

However, being a successful manager - someone who can lead and motivate others - is more challenging than just being a “superstar” performer. Understanding the dynamics of a “team” is a crucial consideration.

When modern-day travelers marvel at the Roman aqueducts and the Parthenon of ancient Greece, a pleasant sensation is triggered in their brains, and this affinity has continued for centuries.
