Subject:      OFF TOPIC: "syncro" usage
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Dear Listmembers,

I am an architect and have started my own business after working for
about 8 years for Mithell/Giurgola Architects here in NYC.  Before that
I had experience in London, San Francisco and in Texas.

I intend to call my firm  -  syncro architecture studio.  While many of
you, with your familiarity of the VW product name, may find that a bit
narcissistic and "vanagon obsessed," it is a very appropriate use of the
"word."  Architects coordinate the efforts of many people, combine many
materials, all in the time frame required by a client and his/her job.
The service I provide is largely to manage people and things in such a
way that they all work together in a given time and space to produce a
unique configuration of space for human use.  "Syncro" seems to embody
that idea.

There are a number of products and organizations that use this term
"syncro" or "synchro" and I am going to be one of them.  There is a
telephone system company that Intel recently bought, there are skis and
jackets and, now, there is an architecture firm in Brooklyn.

Comments, suggestions and commissions are welcome.

Regards,
David Bogle
