i just had to leave studio, because the damn art gallery is on fire... it's just annoying. the art schoo'ls senior show is on fire, or at least part of it is. i've always understood the sharing of a building with the art school as a good idea whos potential has never been realized. now i see it as a potential danger. i think it's time to build a wall, berlin-style

"thank god architecture is not art, because outside of the frame of the artistic looking glass, the architect faces the client and engages with questions of utility, economy and construction. architecture today is the lighter art. fine art has become heacy since it pronounced dead so often..."

has architecture ever been pronounced dead? maybe irrelevant, but dead?

Love that quote, bucku, but "heacy"? Is that a word?

Also, as I attended UM for two years, I can wholeheartedly agree with the art/arch wall. Those artists were so annoying. Of course I did end up marrying another former UM student who also happens to be an artist. Hmmmm.

Anyway - great diagram, too! Hope you don't have any smoke damage!

Oh, and i know it's not late night, but it's noon and almost dark outside due to crappy Midwestern weather, so i'll call it late-like.

i meant heavy, oops. it was late! it is supposed to read that fine art has become heavy since it is pronounced dead so often. architecture is lighter art, its a UNstudio quote by the way.

bucku | lb you see we wouldn't of noticed the spelling when view late at night

The "Fence to Nowhere" they're building at the border arch? Last i heard its only gonna cover 700 miles of new fence. The way our government deals with the border issue is dump some money into arbitrarily whenever we start bitching about come voting time. They'll never actually do anything.

it's past midnight, and this thread needs revived.

Anyway i finally saw the Big Lebowski today, seems to be a big cult hit here on archinect. It was pretty funny movie and I don't think I've ever seen John Goodman deliver a better performance.

Pink Floyd <3

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved them
My dad listens to them constantly.
I'm getting a tattoo of the dark side prism
with music notes flowing threw it instead of a beam of light and rainbow.

The notes are from brain damage lines "and if the band your in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the darkside of the moon"

I'm not putting the lyrics, but I'm putting "RIP uncle paul I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" above it.

Its in memory of my uncle, and I'm getting it on my lower back.

Uncle left me his pink floyd CD and record collection ( he was also my god father )

The balls on my tongue piercing bar have dark side prisms on them too =D

i knew you were going to say that, i didn't know they hit the road till the early 70s.

So, Pink Floyd, you like Bowie too? If yes, you may be the ideal architect student stereotype.

Apr 16, 07 3:18 am  · 
 · 
whatthefuk

oh yah they actually got together in architect school. Well Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Rick (last name?) did.

They didn't produce anything tell the 70s.

David Bowie? Hell yes.

ACDC, GNR, Metallica, Scorpions, Queen, White Snake, Supertramp.

Stuff along that line.

yep, and Richard Rogers was apparently a prof.
