Architecture Students In Hell, Part 2

Someone’s got to say these things.

For some reason these things don’t stay too long when I post them on the wall.

On Recent Renovations

'What do you think of the new foyer? 'You mean the foyer where students no longer congregate, because the bulletin board--the meeting place--has been removed?' 'Where there's two expensive, built-in flat screen monitors permanently tuned to 'off,' indicating the lobby is closed?' 'Where the new pseudo-Mondrian volumes obstruct natural daylight?' '_Where the most important student information in the school is now posted in a permanently handicapped-inaccessible space?_ That one?' 'Yeah, that foyer.' ... 'Boxy goodness!' 'Me too!'

On Humour

'So do architects have a sense of humour?' 'They must. How else do you explain New Brutalism?' 'Good point. That would also account for Deconstructivism.' 'And Brazilia.' 'The Millenium Dome.' 'Flat roofs.' 'Le Corbusier's Lounger.' 'Philip Johnson.' 'B.C. condos.' 'The Skidmore, Owings and Merrill Freedom Tower.' 'You're right. Architects are goddamn _hysterical!_' 'Well, not engineer-funny, but pretty bloody hilarious.'

On Attire

'Why do you think architects wear so much black?' 'Johnny Cash sAng that he wore black for the poor and the beaten down, the prisoners who are victims of the times, the sick, the lonely, the old, and the hundreds of thousands that died believing the Lord was on their side.' 'Yeah. So why do you think architects wear so much black?' 'It makes my heiney look super.' 'Don't think that I hadn't noticed.'
