GARGOYLE n. A rainspout ordsprog
 Architecture is not a private affair; even a house must serve a whole family and its friends, and most buildings are used by everybody, people of all walks of life. If a building is to meet the needs of all the people, the architect must look for some common ground of understanding and experience. |
| [That visibility's a huge boon to Stephen Daiter Gallery. Having started off and since maintained its core practice as a private dealership, what's happening in the art culture doesn't really matter if it isn't helping bring in new clients. And the place to harvest the greater share of those new clients in Chicago is River North.] Steve is very firmly committed to River North as the primary location for the gallery scene, ... And he has two main reasons that he cites--besides the obvious that this is the primary gallery scene--parking and transportation; the CTA and parking. But River North is the established art community, bar none--and West Loop is the younger gallery area--I mean, Rhona Hoffman and Carrie Secrist are established galleries, but as a district, they have a younger feel. Stephen had already been established on the national and international scene as a private dealer, then wanted to take the next step. The next step was logically the gallery. The biggest benefit from the gallery half is bringing in local clients, and that's something that's always been the biggest challenge for us: trying to attract local attention. I think, for us, up to this point, we've always operated as a destination gallery. If you want to come to Daiter Gallery and see a great show, you're always welcome, but you've got to come find us. |

| We're finding strong traction in the owner community -- both public and private -- because of the pure financial gains that accompany a decision to build a green building. Green buildings provide operational performance, environmental sensitivity and improved health for their occupants. It's a triple bottom line great companies can relate to. |
| It's not about everybody signing a petition against climate change that's useless, ... The effort needs to be applied town by town, building by building, so that as an example, we can see the greening of churches, synagogues and mosques, making those buildings themselves more responsible and more economical to operate. |
| He wanted to be a great architect and design great public buildings. Instead, he was doing a lot of private commissions. He just did these 'white elephants,' as Henry James called them, |

| We are trying to promote a serious art gallery, rather than one that displays local crafts. We thought someone of his caliber would be perfect to launch this new image. |
| For maintenance, we have a lot of large projects. Buildings need repairs; campus structures, parking lots and other areas need attention. There is generally an assigned sum. It's based on the number of students and some other factors for who gets the money. |
| I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery. |

| They were operating under the misguided impression that the T- shirt was not allowed. The fact that she (Sheehan) was wearing a T-shirt is not enough reason to be asked to leave the gallery or be removed from the gallery or be arrested. |
| Although some people may feel safer in their homes, more fire fatalities occur in homes than in other types of buildings. Building regulations have stricter fire safety requirements for public buildings than they do for homes. Accordingly, the efforts of fire protection engineers are generally focused on public buildings, which are consequently much safer. |
| What's catching people with this is that it brings back memories of their childhood. As an architect, it seems to be the perfect medium for conveying what the architect's intentions were. |

A rain-spout projecting from the eaves of mediaeval buildings, commonly fashioned into a grotesque caricature of some personal enemy of the architect or owner of the building.

Sometimes when a new dean and chapter were installed the old gargoyles were removed and others substituted having a closer relation to the private animosities of the new incumbents.".
