    so much is true that helsinki univ. of technology, dept. of architecture professors are pretty conservative and aren't that open for criticism. there isn't really a good base for constructive discussion between the students and teachers and sometimes/many times it makes the students a bit anxious...

    the far best way to discuss and express oneself for a student in our dept. seems to be the toilet, its dorrs and walls.

    the academic discussions on architecture that is held on the toilet doors/walls are usually high-end discussions (no racial or similar writings can be found)...

    unfortunately last semester there was a heavy cleaning operation where all the clever, witty and good writings were flushed away so to speak. the order to clean up the toilets came from a higher level with no doubt...

    i don't know what has happened but the writings are coming back...hopefully they are here to stay.
