Any tread about Stalinist architecture ( = cake buildings) is that, never take your mouth full of that, btw. Stalin simply hated architects with a bit of vision.
I love this thread.........where I come from,
in the architecture culture we refer to those houses, say, "victorian" type,
with lots of ICING on,
as cakes, or "patisserie" architecture,
obviously making fun of them, and as an anecdote....my mom has her bakery,
so in the university they used to say I was the only one allowed to make "cake-style" buildings. :ob
in that sense I think architects can be good bakers.....
they can decorate these elements to the taste of the client......
even pull down their pants to the extreme of including things like "happy birthday bobby" on the design,
and live on
having made something totally without substance. In the end, and to popular culture, If it tastes good inside, well good,
if it got the filling that the lady of the house wanted, well good too,
but it will always be a plain betry crocker cake..........
architects can also be gourmet cooks though……I believe…….
is this too corny ?
Bakers typically go to work at 10:00 pm no matter where they are on the globe. They crank until 6:00 am then they go sleep. Their social life sucks and if there damn good they just might get $5.00 for a loaf of bread...and this is considered a excellent loaf of organic bread. Then there is, "Wonder Bread"....if you want to call it bread.
Architects are like bakers except our hours are opposite.
why is it that everything seems to think we are like things or other people. Bakers play with dough making amazing edible things out of flour, water, eggs and sugar - I suspect we also take things from a limited palette and create fantastic useful spaces. But that's where the similarity seems to stop, and our shit is harder to identify and you can't eat it.
Are architects like bakers?
Everyone can appreciate a nice cake, but no one wants to bake one.
I think there is a certain satisfaction with baking your own cake that you can't experience with just buying one.
that is the most retarted analogy that i've ever come across.
this thread = awesome
cracker....it's 'retarded'. perhaps you should look less at the analogy as being retarded and look elsewhere......
I think you've just decided my thesis.

All fasist do.
Josh - i think cracker was giving us a desserts related pun...
personally i always refer to:
"a juicy red apple is nice, but not every apple is red."
Why is Per, a self-confessed non-architect, always relating everything to architecture for chrissakes?!?
And does he has a life? He seems to be on every discussion topic!
enjoy...

Hi
No it\s not ---- just emagine what FLW had for lunch that morning
Oh, bakers! At first it looked like bankers and my typing finger started twitching.
Are they like the Lakers...I would say so, they whine alot and are self centered....but still can kick ass
I don't think so that is a big philosophy or theory here - but not any baker can make a good bread. The same is valid for architects.
i think it depends if you're an icing person or a cake person, btw Labia, i dig the name to funny...
hehe exactly! and also on bankers:)
not bakers but tasters...

...and a roll of plotter paper weighs a bit less than a 20kilo sack of flour.
i bet they do get that 'i designed it myself' comment a lot with reference to wedding cakes...
i'm less a bake or a candlestick maker. more of a butcher.
lol butcher.
well a wedding cake needs to be structurally sound... like you can't say have a chocolate fudge layer on top of a strawberry shortcake layer...
Kisten ,there are functions .
imho architects are more like chefs
