DIA: Design in Absentia?
OK. I am usually very accepting of interesting sorts of conglomerates. I mean, if an architect wants to bend reality and create a sort of Arabian, Vatican, Mongolian, Tee Pee-shaped Yurt-lookalike hut collection, it is really OK with me.

Your description is wonderful. Remember the fiasco at Denver Airport a few years back about the new baggage handling system? Good that you remembered to mention your luggage. . . .
