Watch

spatula: A 4 meter metre x 3 meter metre [zy: I insist, it is by RIBA after all] drawing that was done in a day at the Royal Institute of British Architects by Ben Pentreath, George Saumarez Smith and Francis Terry. Uh, so this is what the people at RIBA do in their free time. Also: Awesome.

archistudent: I’m not sure if anything else could be more appropriate here than aGingerbread Fallingwater. Have a great Christmas all the awesome people who are following us, I’ll leave the FLW primer to another day. (Unless S wants to do it? :D) I’d do a Frank Lloyd Wright primer post, but off the top of my head right now, I only remember that bit in a lecture where Tsuto-san says...

The Concourse

This is The Concourse. Lots of people think it’s f-ing crap, but i think it’s AMAZING. :D It’s designed by Paul Rudolph in 1987. As a kid my parents used to bring us to the shopping complex side of the building, but i don’t really remember much of it - and the really horrible thing is, the shopping complex side has been demolished to make way for a new condominium (wtf!?),...

What we really want for christmas

The only thing worse than shopping for someone who has everything is shopping for an architect. They suck to shop for because they are exceedingly particular and you know that they think your taste is garbage. From “What to get an Architect for Christmas” - moleskines, fancy fountain pens and archi books - those are great gifts, but personally i’d love to get a satchel from...

You know you're an architecture student when...

…you think it’s perfectly alright to doodle with your drafting pen/Rotring/rapidograph*. *I dunno, what do you call them where you study? We tend to call them Rotrings here.

Old models! What do you do with them? Convert them to pen holders? Use them to prop up a table? Trash them? kick ‘em?

Dear Architects, I am sick of your shit

A painfully hilarious look at the profession. An article by Annie Choi, published in Pidgin Magazine, which is a graduate publication by the Princeton School of Architecture. No, seriously, just read it. It’s funny, I promise. Once, a long time ago in the days of yore, I had a friend who was studying architecture to become, presumably, an architect. This friend introduced me to other...
