Are architects retarded?

design

Yes, architects:
1. They are slow and lame
2. They are broke
3. Most of them suck at designing
4. They like Michael Graves
5. They memorize phone numbers and cut sheets as if it mattered.

 

As for Architects. They are none of the above.

Interesting:

1.  most of the ones I know are quick thinkers and quick witted

2.  most of the ones I know are middle to upper-middle class

3.  most of the buildings NOT aimed at getting prizes are competent enough though, yes, there are a FEW bad designs

4.  no one I know likes Michael Graves - he has been long forgotten

5.  most of us remember some phone numbers, some are almost like palindromes or kind of clever

BTW, the word architect is always lower case, and takes a back seat to a whole bunch of "more professional" professions where there are higher earnings and more bolstering of the profession because of a higher level of collegiality.  Lower case "a," got it?

Yes. Architects are retarded. Interesting:

1. Architects are slow and dull witted.

2. Architects are pretty poor with a lot of student debt.

3. Most designs are by architects are crap.

4. Most architects are big fans of Michael Graves.

5. Some kind of clever?

BTW, Architects and architects are retarded, got it?

i like michael graves.  there is nothing wrong with him or his work.  i wouldn't want to imitate or emulate it though.

some architects like to try to keep their businesses running like a business, and bring in more money than they lose in any given month.  others think the whole world should revolve around their opinions of which blobby shit is neat.  i don't know what definition of 'retarded' your using but you can probably figure out which side would fit.

This is a mean spirited  topic.  I was kind of hoping  administration would take it down. The use of the word "Retarded" is offensive to people who are developmentally challenged. Subscribe, you should be ashamed of yourself.  If you have ever worked with people who are developmentally challenged you  would not be tossing this word around in this manner.

Thank you snook.  I agree.

Why are people even posting to a thread so pointless and nakedly provocative? *

Sometimes the best response is to let a dog of a thread just lie there to die, rapidly descending down the list with zero comments...

* I recognize the irony; my comments aim at the respondents, not the OP.
