Philip Johnson as Mister Glasses on the Death of Modernism
Here are some really funny short videos on the death of modernism, the plot revolves around an architect fighting for a place in today’s world, funny, wicked and worth watching. I can’t help but to think Mister Glasses is Harry Potter Philip Johnson, bald, owl-like specs, and not to mention the black attire. Thanks Alec Thornton for the heads up. Enjoy.
Episode 1 – Together with Kitty, Hard Hat and Sean, Mister Glasses defends the values of Modernist Architecture against the onslaughts of wealthy patrons. After weathering a storm of commissions, Mister Glasses reaffirms his architectural philosophy. Look out for a cameo from old 102 friends John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn.
Episode 2 – Mister Glasses must summon the work of his former mentor in order to aid a lovesick high schooler. Can an architect build a bridge between two hearts? Mister Glasses helps a lovelorn student using a miniature erection.
Episode 3 – Shot by a rival architect, Mister Glasses recounts a childhood trauma.
Episode 4 – While recuperating from a gun shot injury, Mister Glasses tells what he remembers before the arrival of a teutonic adversary. Taken for granted and tired of Mister Glasses’ riddles, Kitty decides to leave the firm. She eventually returns to discover her position has changed.
Episode 5 – A puzzling episode, especially for lovers of zen koans.
Episode 6 – Frustrated over a seemingly impossible commission, Sean seeks inspiration in drink and sexual congress. Mister Glasses continues to study its supporting cast, and this time Hard Hat takes the spotlight in his inimitably* laconic fashion. *Could possibly be imitated.
Spoiler!
Mr.Sean the assistant architect looking for a one night stand!
An unhappy student criticize Mister Glasses’ philosophy.
True, better small than big.
You know, we all have this deja-vu feeling right? First day in office, boom! You’re promoted to the coffee making department.

Matchstick Marvels – Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
God must be crazy, he made so many of them. This is madness, my brain would explode into tiny bits if I were given the task to built this matchstick version of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the Matchstick Marvels museum in Gladbrook, IA. The entire Harry Potter castle should be finished by December 2006 with an estimated 602,000 matchsticks used.
602,000 matchsticks! What happen to the Save Our Forest campaign? It is reasonable right to waste but wrong to chop down our own trees in Malaysia, especially in countries like Indonesia and Brasil. A least we still have virgin forest here in Malaysia and one of the oldest in the world. Forget about that whole saving the forest issue, that is one fine model, beautifully crafted.
Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness. – Kahlil Gibran
