orly: you get really sick so i can't drink with you and i will be forever pissed. and not pissed in the irish drunken manner, i mean upset.
daze: the hairy thing isn't really the issue, i just have yet to meet anyone from france that kept me interested at all. granted the only french people i have met were the dozen or so exchange students that i have met from one time or another and therefore mostly represented that annoying upperclass level of people i usually disdain for their lack of purpose. that and it just seems fun to hate the french, much like one might say they hate dogs simply so they never get asked to dog-sit.
jess: i love classic buildings, not greek/roman classic but stuff of much more adorned and earlier ages. The only reason i refuse to accept any recreation is multi-fold. First off, i don't think the craftsmanship exists anymore, or if it does certainly not on a large scale nor fiscally possible enough for public buildings. Todays stuff gets "value engineered" which is a fancy term for "as fucking cheap as possible" and i hate poor recreations of stuff, i figure, don't even fucking attempt it if you can't do it right. However, I love classical buildings and being an architect who specializes in enviornmental design (i believe you brits call it BREAM) there is nothing that makes me happier then taking an old decrepid building and giving it new life. I love those kind of projects. The second part of recreating older design is just from an enviornmental standpoint. Something like 60+% of all human landfill waste and close to 75% (or more) of pollution is directly a result of new construction, recreating old mistakes and building typologies does nothing to help that. There are catagories of new construction types and models that utilize more eco-friendly techniques which is something that I am attempting to further specialize my field into. Yes, i am a tree hugging HIPPY.
Daze part deux: Not my fault that the one current premiere british architect (besides nicholas grimshaw whom i ADORE still) blatently FAILS at ripping off an ORIGINAL DESIGN from a properly trained ENGINEER/ARCHITECT who just happens to be spanish born and huggable as HELL! Seriously, way to go and fail at recreating a simple footbridge. Oh, as an aside, I just designed an enclosed pedestrian walkway that will span an arts collaborative and a library and you know what? It will work, look kind of neat and not be super expensive. I guess my problem is is that I have talent and am not british.
OH DISSS!
