Summary

This quote suggests that the architecture profession, particularly in the USA, has suffered a decline in its integrity. It implies that many architects lack ethical principles and do not possess a drive for success.

Ultimately, it indicates a perceived lack of commitment to the art and purpose of architecture among practitioners in the United States.
