Design vs. engineering question

[Alaskan Son]

the meaning of the word "Architect" is "Master Builder" and that's the way I think.

For some architects this may be true, but as a builder I can assure you it is not usually true. I don't mean to offend, but there are some brilliant ideas that architects/engineers with no field experience come up with that just don't work.

One detail I really like is the multiple A35s attached to I joist blocks. Ever try to put 6-12 nails into the bottom cord of an I joist?
