It would be nice if this continued.............

Architects have to design buildings before they can be built.  It is
just one those things.  Sort of like the "canary in the coal mine,"
architectural billings provide a hint of things to come for the
commercial real estate world.  One would believe that the trend
shown by this chart is good news:

“This is a heartening development for the design and
construction industry that only a few years ago accounted
for nearly ten percent of overall GDP but has fallen to
slightly less than six percent,” said AIA Chief Economist,
Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA.

thanks as always, Bill
