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.

Yeah; this is...not helpful. Nothing about the ergonomics at all. In fact, the most common thing they talk about is the surroundings of the desk, not even the desk itself.

In fact, for an architect, I would think one that is also tiltable ( https://youtu.be/_SonAjxraoo for instance) would be the 'dream' desk (though I guess maybe they treat desks separate from drafting table? I dunno)

I once toured an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright home and a lot of what I learned there was about the impracticality around the maintenance of the home, and the challenge of subsequent restoration efforts. Was not surprised to see that architects' ideal desks were ergonomic disasters.

I'm equally disappointed. I care a great deal about desks as I think they're one of the most important artifacts of a thinking person's life. The article left us empty handed.
