abra- what's your beef with Yazdani or is it with cannon? ok, he fired me from Dworski back in 1994 (well, not him, but the HR guy - this is post them being fired from Disney Concert Hall), but I still have respect for his attempt at elevating corporate design...
tk,
i don't really know them.
it just sounded like a thread started by someone who works for a corporate and was an opportunity for me to direct this person to look into his own backyard.
i have decided to do that after quick examination of what that office do.
i normally respond to threads like this.
Oh I know exactly where I work and in no way feel above these firms. This is all about having a little fun with the influx of acronyms in firm names. Probably should not have used "corporate in the title", OMA, MVRDV, and SANAA are far from it. I thought archinect was a much happier place after the new year.
What the corporate acronyms really mean
In the name of old fashioned fun, let's discuss our interpretations of the acronym firms:
SOM- Same Old Modernism
OMA- Overtly Meglomaniacal Architecture
KPF- Krap Piss F***
MVRDV-?
Let the fun begin.
Yazdani Studio of Cannon Design - Krap Piss Fuck of Design

SANAA- Sleepless Anxiety Network of Associated Architects

Buttrick White Burtis was always referred to as Buttery White Buttocks back in Philly.
On second thought, that' s a kind of mean thing for me to post. Archinect, go ahead and yank that post if you deem it inappropriate.
