Do you know how many kitchens there are in the Burj Dubai?!?!?

There will always be a role for good, moral women inside of architectural objects!

why do people bother to come on a discussion site and try to provoke controversy just by saying stupid things? aquilla and unicorn, what kind of sophomoric jollies do you get from this kind of provocation?

i truly don't understand why you even bother. shouldn't you be cruising fark or something?

Really? How else are you going to answer such a retarded question?

I apologize for the horrible joke but really... the phrasing of the topic is just awful

if that was indeed your motivation for your comment, unicorn, then mis read and i'm sorry. it seemed consistent, however, with some of your other provocations.

while i'm not for censoring anyone, i DO wish i could make this thread disappear from my screen. the stupid thoughts and actions of some people piss me off, and i don't come here to get pissed off.

I would much rather here (read) someone make a case for a woman's right* to drive a giant SUV from parking lot to parking lot in the suburban puke I live in...

*nobody should drive these oversized vehicles, but if you can't see over the dash or any of your mirrors, you are endangering me and I don't appreciate it.

As you were...

Naw. I think it’s an interesting topic. It implies that at some point there was someone in the field of architecture that was useless and truly never belong. How many people have encountered a situation where you thought “why is that person even here?! They don’t do anything? They take too long to do the work I gave them? They complain every god damn minute. But they’re still here” But in my time, most cases were men who were worthless. They talk a mean game and could never produce.

But this topic seems to be directed for women who hold a practice of their own and that are credited for their excellence in their practice, no? We all know it’s the people down the chain that are the creative ones. This applies for all firms, not just women with firms and even outside the realm of architecture. The principles are just the ones that finalizes or massages the concept. It’s not like they took the time out of their schedule to sit down and started modeling from scratch. That’s why there’s a team. And for all their hard work, the person’s name on the firm is the one that gets credited. Similar to songwriting. You might not have heard too much of singer/writer Usher but he’s been writing a lot of songs for current top singers. They give him credit for his song but more is emphasizes on the other artist. And looking at it big picture, the same thing happens when all the collaborators, structural engineers, façade engineers, M.E.P, contractors, and so on... they all get shafted while all attention is directed to one person…..the person’s name on that architectural firm. She orchestrated all this but it was the effort of all the other teams and consultants that made it happen.

So to say “a case for women’s existence in the field of architecture”…..meh. I’m more focus about keeping my job. Let the boss lady have her moment.

ah yes..the "lighten up" excuse. irrespective of your lame humour, dude you are recreating and spreading a climate of hate. I will so totally not lighten up.

ooooh push those buttons. how edgy. more like how tired.

#ain't1992nemoreandyouaren'tvicemag

can you even write a single post without being hilariously irrelevant and sexist? "Quit getting your panties in a wad over stupid nonsense"

...grow up?
