But with the economy grinding along in second gear, billings have plummeted and even prominent designers, from Frank Gehry to Norman Foster, have been forced to downsize staff and shut offices which means that a lot of people in the field are finding themselves watching daytime TV. There is, however, one architecture-related business that is booming: ice cream.
