Article Abstract:

Traditionally, architecture has not been a money-making enterprise, but architect Chris Liddle tried to change the pattern and create a profitable architectural business enterprise. His plan failed because he could not persuade investors that his intended company, Rock Archimedia Design, would not end up as another failed architecture business notion, but Liddle is unbowed and already working on a company restructure.
