To: Jeevacation Epstein[[email protected]] From: Sent Wed 4/28/2010 1:20:33 AM Jeffrey, Robert obviously is capable of building notable, even exquisite properties, though he has been very raw in these past two judgments. I don't know the process by which he got there, but he got there clearly. Maybe we have to think about how to modify the communication process.. It would be ashame for this not to happen. Did Robert know your desires for the shower details, height, placement of controls etc.. before sending that drawing? It's like there should be a sequence of drawings for every project.. shower, room etc.. that go from general to specific and that gary should view before you view, as he knows the practicality of the island and the real time terrain better than Robert whose initial drawing is abstract.. Maybe Robert should be further encouraged more to ask questions to know exactly what you want. Part of it is that I think he feels very under pressure to act quickly to get things done, and it probably deters him from asking essential questions relevant to the process of creation as well as having time to reflect which is so important. For ex. he felt he had fifteen minutes to come up with the pattern and re- pattern for the courtyard, when we all know that isn't enough. Just trying to be helpful... EFTA_R1_01493422 EFTA02425173
