Six Architects on their Dream Desks

I was hoping to find a variety of sit stand desks, something that can be leant on whatever the height and handle the weight of some monitors mounted to the back face of said desk using something like an Ergotron arm with a triple bow, but sadly its nothing like that.

Long desk. Wall to wall. That's my ideal desk. My laptop and monitor, some stationery, a printer and some books.

My ideal desk is 4x8 feet, deep enough that test equipment can sit to the back, and you'll still have lots of room for the stuff you're working on in front, with lots of light overhead so that you can see all the small details. Ideal height is somewhere around 36" or so. There should be an overabundance of electrical outlets.

These are desks for lead architects / partners who no longer have to build models or get dirty.

Architects are one of the professions where creative work really matters. I am sure there is also a lot of collaboration (with engineers, fellow architects, customer, etc).

Yet not a single one of these people mentioned an open office with a small desk or a floating couch with a laptop. I wonder why?

For a site called "drawing matter", it is interesting that with, I think, one exception the illustrations have no direct connection with the text.
