Masonry: What do you think will be the masonry industry's biggest competitor in 10 years?
Huskisson: At present, it would certainly seem that newer building materials might pose strict competition to building with the masonry unit. However, I do not think that things will be significantly different in the next 10 years, because this building trade has always faced a cheaper, easier and quicker alternative. Building with masonry is not about being quick, easy or cheap it is about quality, versatility and an understanding of a rich history that includes some of man's most significant architectural achievements.
Masonry: Which group do you feel has the bigger impact on masonry's future: architects, engineers or general contractors?
Huskisson: Definitely architects. This profession really needs to rediscover masonry. In today's terms, the percentage of designers that utilize masonry materials is much too small. In my opinion, architects that lack the rudimentary masonry design skills are doing themselves and society a disservice.
Masonry: What do you like most about being a member of MCAA?
Huskisson: Our collective voice.
