Eventualy, depends on how busy the web-master is...but I will try to resume
the results for the listserve as soon as I have details.

Not very good.  I still don't have much of a list...its seems that the few
Spanish architects with SB experience have plenty of work (although sometime
getting paid is difficult they say!) and those that are willing to design
with straw don't have experience and don't want to advertise yet...give us a
few more years I suppose.  

Salud, Rikki
Hi Rikki
I am very interested to hear about the Spanish tests will

architects go?
