Architecture Students in Hell

On Studio Spaces

'So why do you think so many architecture students build claustrophobic rabbit-warren enclosures around their studio spaces?' 'For any one of a number of possible reasons. Perhaps they're easily distracted by other studio activities.' 'Preparing them poorly for all those open plan offices they're going to be working in.' 'Or seem to be drawing in their own plans.' 'If it's good for the goose...' 'Maybe they have an innate fear of open spaces.' 'Saskatchewanitis?' 'No, that's fear of green toques.' 'Agoraphobia, then.' 'Maybe by building tall things, they're compensating for other shortcomings.' 'A hazard of the industry.' 'But it doesn't explain the women. So what would we have? Either a group of underendowed, attention-deficient agoraphobes, or...' 'Or...' 'Or pretending to be in rabbit warrens gets them off.' 'Furries?' 'There's no other explanation.' 'You're right. _There's no other explanation._' 'Ever notice how Donald Duck doesn't wear pants?' 'But when he gets out of the shower, he wears a towel.' 'That's weird.' 'I think it's hot.'
