hrib asked: Hello. Have a look my illustrations and graphics. Maybe you will like some of them. Beside this I am having difficulty to find other blogs or sites where I can publish-promote my kind-type of architectural drawings. I am looking for more architectural orientated Blogs and not just general illustration blogs. I am aiming to more architectural visitors. Do you have any suggestion? That would help me a lot. Thank you for help.

I guess that’s why they call it a job “hunt”. I’ve been there…..

salopianfunk asked: Do you do all/long nighters with a beer to make them more tolerable? If yes, as a follow up question, what is your choice beer when doing so?
PSSHH, Of course! I’m a big craft brew guy, in fact I brew my own, and am somewhat of a snob when it comes to beer. Now, I would like to say that I shun away those big corporate breweries (ie. Budweiser, Coors…etc.) but when it comes down to it…those are the cheapest lol. Money, as you know, is a big factor especially in archy school so I can’t be dishing out 15 bucks on a six pack every all nighter. If I had to pick, i’ll go with Budweiser
Average study time... architecture in 1st place -
Archies REPRESENT!
Oh…so that’s what it stands for

Every person for themselves bitch!!!!!
Moneo’s work as a architect, in my opinion, is second to his ability to frame his own ideas in the context of contemporary architecture. His book, Theoretical Anxiety and Design Strategies, offers a very comprehensive look at the development of architecture since the end of modernism. The book is essentially his lectures for his Contemporary Theory course at Harvard, so they are written very organically and its quite easy to read. Anyways, he breaks down the work of eight contemporary architects (sometimes incorrectly, however, in my opinion), but overall its a very interesting take where he frames an argument that actually building your ideas takes preference over the quality of your ideas. You can agree or disagree with that, but he projects that view onto the architects he breaks down. I don’t like his buildings, most of them anyways, but I respect the ability to separate oneself from the field enough to be able to define the era which you are working within. Many architects fail to realize the context of the field and think they are doing something ultra-revolutionary, when really they are just re-hashing old and outdated ideas. I am sure we can ALL think of a few firms that do this.
Thank you Scott for your 2 cents. And thank you “anonymous” for mentioning Moneo and opening up a FUCKING can of worms.
