have you been to yale before? what is a "boy's club" feel? and what does that have to do with what i said? all i was saying is that stern's architectural aesthetic has nothing to do with yale's philosophy. i'm not trying to instigate another argument or anything, its just that a lot of the comments on this thread seem completely unfounded.
What kind of personal agenda would a dean of an architecture school pursue? Forcing their own aesthetic into the school? Is that what you are saying? That is what starchitect studio instructors do, not a dean. dean's are completely detached from that. they bring in money and people to the school. that is their job.
My goodness cpnorris...do I have to spell it out for you
BRINGING IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE!
Stern has done a great job putting together a general year-to-year faculty that bows down to him, thus he has complete control over every decision that's made at the school...not a great place for free thought or diversity
So uzshef has come from being a person who knows little about Yale, even applied and supposedly declined an offer, and is now expousing a full-blown Stern conspiracy! What a buffoon!!
uzshef i am done with this thread. discussing yale with you has been like talking to a wall. you are clearly uniformed and have no idea what you are talking about in regards to yale or how an architecture school works. good luck to you in whatever you choose to do.
This is amazing! Anyone who puts out anything substantial about any subject is ridiculed and slammed! I don’t know that much about Yale, but I do know a thing or two about politics. All the inquiry emails I’ve gotten back say more or less the same thing “Stern’s way or the highway” which led me to make that previous claim. I can’t believe the crap and coincidence logic you guys spew out….should I just write about what kind of peas I like instead?
Take it easy - I can't imagine a dean actually giving two shits about the exact namelist/attitude of the people admitted. Really.
Stern certainly wields power, but how he uses it is a question of personality, not architectural style. And the few Yale-related professors I've met (Koetter, E.Mitchell, Pelkonen) seem like their "own personalities" (an understatement...) - not like small-Sterns, so can't really see why all this rancor just because the dean is not liked.
And generally, if some people seem to think they are so important as to be the targets of personal vendettas by professors/exclusive boy's clubs, just grow up.
THERE are a few exceptions which will always stand out, but most female stars yearn for a diminutive derriere.
However, it appears that the small and slender bottom is very much a recent trend after an archaeological discovery revealed how Stone Age pin-ups were far from size zero.
Ancient carvings depicting the female form 15,000 years ago reveal that prehistoric women were revered for their curvaceous bodies and prominent buttocks.
The most popular were the cave-dwellers’ equivalents of Kylie Minogue (pictured), whose renowned behind is the world’s most popular posterior.
Historians claim that the carvings – found at a site in Poland – reveal how curvy bottoms were regarded as the most attractive physical trait for women in Stone Age Europe.
Men looking for a mate ignored skinnier women and fought for females with the shapeliest behinds.
Experts said a well-presented bottom was a sign of wealth, health and a good diet.
They also suggested she would be a successful mother, able to produce lots of children and sent out a message to other men that her partner was a strong and successful hunter – making him more attractive to other women.
Around 30 of the figurines were unearthed at the dig and archaeologists believe they would have been carried by the travelling hunters as items of decorative beauty to admire while they were away from home and their loved ones.
The flat carvings were fashioned out of flint, bone, ivory and tooth.
They depict the profile of women minus their heads – strongly suggesting that cavemen were more interested in the shape of the body than the way a female looked.
Romuald Schild, of the Polish Academy of Sciences, who led the dig, said: “The engravings and figurines adhere to a style depicting feminine silhouettes with over represented buttocks.”
The site of the discovery in central Poland is a known Late Magdalenian settlement. It has thrown up 10,000 archaeological finds since 1993.
It is thought the discovery is in an area where hunters gathered to relax and swap stories.
Other remains include a woolly rhinoceros, horse and Arctic fox. Animal teeth and tusks were used in jewellery, made by the hunters in their spare time.
They also found time to carve the figurines, which prove that behind every outstanding Stone Age woman was an outstanding behind !

hey uzshef ... there are plenty of reliable internet search engines, such as Google and Yahoo! that may have the answers to your questions. Or maybe you can email para2 -- she seems to have the answers to all your questions.
I love how over half of this thread is a call-and-reponse pas deux between para2 and uzshef. Perhaps they are each other's butt-mates.
Yale Blows 07

it's awfully early in the morning to have caps lock on, snooker.
oh, and, regarding para2's multiple choice:
like it or not, stern's way seems to be working. in the news: http://archinect.com/news/article.php?id=54330_0_24_15_M
yale, and stern, are just a different choice than you would make. why can't that be enough for you?
Snooker, can u elaborate ?
and para2 but I still think Kylie is slightly overrated. what do u think ?
begin the revolution
down with prestigious
schools, sucking us dry
of every penny we've
ever earned
Steven Ward
I think that's a weak response
ah well. and i thought it seemed reasonable.
it's ok
Whatever happened to Yale's Urban Design program?
hmmm.........
Kylie's a sheila, 'nuff said
para2
did the school ever have an urban design program?
uzshef: Where the heck is Yale located anyhow? For that matter where the heck is GSD located?
hey uzshef ... there are plenty of reliable internet search engines, such as Google and Yahoo! that may have the answers to your questions. Or maybe you can email para2 -- she seems to have the answers to all your questions.
I love how over half of this thread is a call-and-reponse pas deux between para2 and uzshef. Perhaps they are each other's butt-mates.
It's a good way for para/uzshef to deal with two sides of the personality, like an Anima/Animus kind of thing, very Jungian.
This kind of inner dialogue and role playing can actually be very therapeutic.
Please, don't let us stop you, go on talking to yourself.
Once again you're all paranoid
I can't communicate with certain people either?
fine, I'll just stick to emailing people
snooker, beef, 765, get a life
uzshef, u pls email Kylie also on my behalf.Pls give her my regards.
Burn the witch!
uzshef, dedalus, phil, kablak, helsinki, ortho; they're all my agents
whahahah!
fly my pretties! ;-)
.............
Nope, its just lil ol me...givin' Stern heartburn
By the way.......Kylie is highly overrated and has never broken into the a-list category................just like Stern ;-).
i can't imagine you're giving stern heartburn. (nice ryhmin tho.)
as if he'd even be aware of some anonymous muckraker with no substance only provocation.
Maybe Steven.
cpnorris. where's my apology
uzshef, where's my email ?
