Well ... the big thing is the umbrella that "engulfs" any contemporary AEC design activity these days:

that BIM thingy that AutoDesk and Bentley Systems manage to be required by Law (in some countries, more to follow rather soon). If BIM is 100 ... parametric design is less than 1 (speaking having the whole complete study in mind; all included + specs + you name it).

With this perspective in mind ... GH would never be the first violin.

And the better news are that ... er ... in some years from now small firms would been erased from the map (it's unavoidable: happened in too many other design/engineering sectors).

next related question: Who can a nation that's 19 trillion in debt still afford such extravagant type of architecture?

The real question is how can they afford overseas wars and tax-breaks?

If a particular nation "buys" the dept ("time" notes, promissory notes, whatever) in exchange of been allowed to make and export goodies ... job done (and dept is rather a virtual token).
