this movie scene sums up the Architecture Dilemna pretty well

awaiting_deletion

...clearly spending too much time on the Archinect Boards, but just remembered this scene from years ago on the Social Network Movie, the Larry Summers character sums up the very dilemma about this profession/art/education...I changed Harvard to Architecture.

“Yes, everyone in architecture is inventing something, Architects believe that inventing a job is better than finding one, so I’ll suggest again that the two of you come up with a new new project.”

Think about all the great things modern architecture did for the construction industry...more recently 3D modeling and animation for HGTV and Real Estate marketing..fabrication..out of the hands of architects into the hands everyone else.

enjoy. (think of all the stereotypes about architects you can extract from this scene while at it, ha)

Come on man...the winklevoss twins as architects and architecture as harvard....you don't see it? The qoute man the qoute. I guess if you thought architecture was a salary job based on a technical education, the analogy flies right over the head.

wow.

another minute of my life wasted for reading the comment.

 

hahha, ok, ok, fine. I guess I can see where you are coming from. But can't it just be more straight forward like... "I am gonna squash you like a grape."

I wish you could link in the video. Who squashed who here? If I was the grape (architect) and the hands were society I would reinvent myself as a little pee or maybe a banana. That should take more than 15 seconds to read. Waste away my friend, go draft me some grapes.

Damn QNT...worse than. 'Review my portfolio' or 'rank the school' or 'I hate myself and architecture'....surely better than Chicken or Egg?! I guess you cant use pop culture to make an intelligent critique on architecture. Damn ADD internet kids.

Please. No one in my class had the muscle mass to pull a doorknob off a door. We weren't majoring in Rec & Leisure!

This post is still alive? Why oh why... Who has the high score? Door Knob Destroyer vs Grape Squeezer vs Scott Pilgrim as Architect! .....a side note in the Gehry Talks book Frank Gehry says he is a Brooks Brother kind of guy...
