Stop Following Me! I'm An Architect.

Metaphorical reference is a crime! Bad example – Putrajaya. Imitation to the max, the Chinese from China salutes you! The North Koreans should nuke this place, and all the blonde Americans should use their imagination to come up with 1001 excuses to carpet bomb this Disneyland with their B-52 planes.

To a handful of architects involved in Putrajaya with their ancient design(s) – “Your design is tasteful for the tasteless!”

6 years of wasted education. You can bring a person out of the village, but you’ll never bring the village out of a person. How are we suppose to teach the newer generation about architecture when the ‘Putrajaya’ and not to mention ‘Dubai’ sets precedent for modern and ideal architecture in third world countries?

I have issues with egoistic architects that foams while they speak. There is nothing wrong if you prostitute yourself for money, but don’t go around town preaching and defending ‘architecture’.

Archi-limbo? How low can you go? How low can you go? How low can you go? When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going!

Twenty-seven-year old Seattle resident [and architect] John Morefield…was laid off not once, but twice in a single year as projects dry up and small firms tighten budgets. So what’s a boy to do? Watch Peanuts cartoons and hang out at the local farmers’ market?

Why yes indeed. Morefield’s concept for Architecture 5¢–edificially inspired by Charles Schulz’s psychiatrist booth for Lucy–is bringing architecture to the people, and people to the architecture. For a nickel, passerby can ask questions that range from simple (”What’s the best insulation to use next to concrete in a basement?”) to complex (”We have a 700-square foot Seattle bungalow and want to add a second story because we’re expecting our first child… Help!”).
