A Christmas Verse for Designing Buildings

In the digital realm where builders convene, 
Lies a wiki of wisdom, a virtual scene. 
Designing Buildings, a collaborative space, 
Guiding construction with knowledge and grace.

From project plans to procurement's art, 
Each article crafted to play its part. 
Legislation, standards, history's lore, 
A treasure trove for the built environment to explore.

As Christmas lights twinkle on structures anew, 
We honor the architects, the planners, the crew. 
May your projects be sturdy, your designs ever bright, 
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
