Mistecture will just become the Architect of Record.

For the record, I'm passing along information that is being relayed to me through people I know. I don't have any personal relationship with the developer to confirm, but these are strange steps for a developer to be taking if there isn't any hardship.
Specifically, why on earth would you have a different architect of record from the designer if you're working with their design? I mean, outside of cost, this is a strange step to take. And why would an architect assume the liability for somebody else's design when the other somebody doesn't really have an high-rise experience either? It's definitely unconventional.
