"Heliocrete": Helium entrained concrete that can span unfathomable distances so you need not worry about physics or real structure limitations.
"Human condition"... good archibabble terms for monumental designs. "The space really iterates the human condition with it's proportions."
Oh, I guess I used another fav term; "Archibabble"... the ramblings of architects to justify the passion and emotion behind their design to make us seem somehow like we live on a separate plain of understanding buildings...
vocabulary - cornices and corbels neither speak nor write.
Human condition is a great term for psychology, sociology, political science, and other social sciences. I don't care for its use as applied to architecture. Architecture can evoke certain emotions, create an atmosphere, and possibly alter moods, but it is not a determinant of the human condition nor is the human condition a determinant of architecture.
Phenomenology - this word is so abstract to me, I keep having to look up the dictionary every 6 months or so because its hard to put in words what it really means xD
Favourite word from Architecture School

From my understanding, if you wish to publish an academic paper, it must contain one of the above words.
I also enjoy: undulating, fabric, tensegrity, the prefix digi-, hierarchy, heirophant, treatise, design collective, equilibrium, substratum, singularity, kafka-esque, metamorphosed, anthropomorphosed, milieu, pullulation, didactic, diagrid,
Additionally, using atypical forms of common terms was a plus: aeroplane, hackney-cab, bicycling-lane, motorcoach, motorcar, computation room.
