Well, my mother always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be, unfortunatly she never anticipated a child who had a deep desire to be the Prince of Wales! I suppose a being a member of the leisure class wouldnt be disagreeable, Id have lots of time to be creative.
If I werent an architect I would be.... Unhappy?
or
an F1 driver
Pornstar/Professional Wrestler.......actually a Pornstar in a professional wrestling Arena. No Ropes.......All of the production and energy and spectacle of the PayPerView events, but only me and the adult industry's finest female stars. Yeah.
whodamantom funny you mention that there is an old article on the british monarchy and the Prince of Wales response if he weren't a royal is that he would an architect...funny instead he's a f...ing arch critic who doesnt know his head from his arse. Probably he married one...sorry I'm venting
jam-arch. Ya i was actually looking at going to the "Prince of Wales school...of urban something or other, he actually teaches sonme of the lecture, and i said, and what does he know?
It seems to me that with so many potential film directors, cinematographers, writers, painters, and members of the Royal Family we have here, we could start an Archinect production company.
If we had our own production company, I would think that we would make:
self-important documentaries
or
animated adult films
or
one-hour weekly dramedies about the trials and tribulations of being an architect. We are very under-represented in this latter category. Currently all the shows are about lawyers, doctors, military doctors who happen to be lawyers, or other people who solve crimes.
Ironically, few of us seem to have any interest in being lawyers or doctors in lieu of being an architect. I guess the one thing we all have in common is that none of us really want someone else's life in our hands :o)
we could make our own spin on the "office" called the studio...kinda non-descrip you can tell if its an architectural studio or an architectural school studio. But it could also be like 24...since we are always in the studio 24 hours..with the clock tick tick. Not everyone wears black and the only time you see outside of the studio is when they have to make a coffee run, run to the ER, or presentation to the clients or drop the competition entry at the dhl office. okay i have a copyright on this...we could even get brad hotpants to do a cameo...think of the exposure. Our advertisers would be dwr, gap, old navy, black - an unnamed company for the artistically inclined, maserati, and enzyte...male enhancement pills
As an advertiser of course. The show would definitely have to be wryly humorous - but no laugh track - and exaggerated, as in, chopped off fingers, studio sex, etc, it all happens to the same group of about 6 people...
Also it would have to be under-watched and critically acclaimed...
What's the name of our show going to be?
And don't we have any aspiring producers on this thing? Let's get the ball rolling here....
PS. Good idea on the heroine addict, you don't see many of them on TV these days....
the show could be regular studio activities.... the regular stuff... the exagerations, action, drama, violence, sex could actually just happen in the architects' "fantasy world"...
now heroin but there should be a brilliant partner who is also a pot head, and you need a womaniser, and to twist it up let the interior architect be straight - but everyone think he'shes gay...hmmm
another twist: at the end of the season the dark uber cool type that everybody admires turns in a crappy project and decides to pursue an mba
let's keep track here... we have:
1. an interior designer who everybody things is gay but is really secretly straight
2. a womanizer that's secretly gay [this could also be the mysterious guy in black as mentioned before]
3. the brilliant pot head
?. a friend told me one of her classmates at the gsd was a calvin klein model whose father did porn movies but this seems so outlandish it would never make a show.
so scratch that.
4. the brown-noser that's always trying to read the teacher/boss's mind?
5. the archi-babbler? [could also be no. 2, kill 3 birds one stone]
I think I can cite precedents for each of these imaginary people. You know I've been doing this for too long when I start citing precedents...
Anyway, don't forget this one:
6. the emotionally unstable one who always cries after crits. Characterized by a general unwillingness to take risks and complete and total insecurity. Almost always gets A's. Yes, I know one of these too.
The brilliant pot head is my favorite. They are the most amusing, a guy in my class once designed polka-dotted tree houses, no lie.....
oh, oh, i like the guy that no one notices is there... great comic potential... lots of frustrated comments, like, "um could you move your elbow from my model?" and such. or, teacher asking "who's seen ernest?" when ernest is in the room...
i had an unstable crier in my studio once. she [hey, i'm a 'she' too] got into a screaming match with the teacher. lots of fun for all the family. i say let's have the unstable crier be more of a B student, though. ok, B+. he/she's also the brown noser i think, to consolidate.
you need those with D.Archs Phds and what not who are in the "drafting" section who considers themselves a failure
the modelbuilder who has police warning tape at 1.513m intervals away from the latest model in process - he speaks in a wavering voice that shoots to high octaves.
If I weren't an Architect I'd be a ....
farmer
i'd draw comics

a doctor or may be writer
Doctor Who!!!!
whodamantom- I heard that your mom thinks you were going to crash cars... was that what you were going to learn at the "Prince of Wales school"?
I was thinking more... perhaps I would be a painter. Anyway in which I could make the world more beautiful.
Although for a while I was thinking of being a pioneer in the old west.
signum... which Doctor Who?
It seems to me that with so many potential film directors, cinematographers, writers, painters, and members of the Royal Family we have here, we could start an Archinect production company.
i'd be a cat
Well if we had an Archinet production company what kind of films would we make?
Well, I've been dating a developer in the last few weeks... and that seems like a pretty sweet deal. I'd be a developer with a design conscience,
If we had our own production company, I would think that we would make:
self-important documentaries
or
animated adult films
or

My Uncle works for enzyte...
I'll throw the idea by him...
Dead? In some sense or another/
I know some of you would turn into Heroin addicts, oh I guess those kids arent on a post,....
Don't forget Apple....

If I had no kids...
summer: island resort bartender
winter: ski patrol or back country tour guide
With kids...
lawyer or doctor then developer

the show could be regular studio activities.... the regular stuff... the exagerations, action, drama, violence, sex could actually just happen in the architects' "fantasy world"...
I would definately own my own vineyard and be a winemaker. But hey, I can do it once I retire.
wonder K its called studio
now heroin but there should be a brilliant partner who is also a pot head, and you need a womaniser, and to twist it up let the interior architect be straight - but everyone think he'shes gay...hmmm
hahaha; glad that was well received.
How about a show about studio life by Requiem for a dream director, Darren Aronofsky, it would be sick!
Wait the womanizer would have to be the one that was secretely gay
good idea
An economist. Who DEY!
another twist: at the end of the season the dark uber cool type that everybody admires turns in a crappy project and decides to pursue an mba

5. the archi-babbler? [could also be no. 2, kill 3 birds one stone]
How about the one who goes in and works, and no one ever notices they are there... secretly leading the double life of the client.
I simply wanted to fight evil!
On the characters, good ideas, all....
