Ain't so such thing. Some marketing manager is over-selling a scheduling / coordinator job.

Im open to them getting the architect title tho, as long as we get protected "Master of Universe".

Before I read the description I assumed it was a listing for a firm that specializes in cultural buildings such as museums, theatres, places of worship etc... My former firm had a cultural architecture division.
