Humor that focuses explicitly on engineering (not architectural) downfalls, particularly the failure to adequately develop sound structural foundations. Furthermore, this body of humor focuses particularly on the poor education, living standards, and general hygiene that have led to the training of under-qualified and inexperienced engineers who, in turn have been unable to execute sound excavation practices.

A grid system in four parts: site, threshold, damage, and a shaky content that's subject to change. Or: a way of holding things in one place long enough to understand what's happening. Narrative. Then it rains. It rains for three days straight, and the city disappears. Then you disappear. I am thinking of the night you opened the door of your house and threw the book into the garden. Dark garden. An intermediary text, architecture is not for babies. Architecture is not for the house, but what surrounds it. If the grid gets wet, then you just slide off it, into the rain. This is an act of repetition made possible by the structure, but only when the structure fails.
"Hey mister! If I'd of wanted architecture, I'd of asked for architecture." "It's architecture 1, dummy." "Who you calling dummy?" "You, dummy." "Don't call me dummy. Architecture 1, my ass." "I love it when you talk dirty." "Oh shut up, do you want me to come over there and..." "Oh shut your pie-hole. This ain't a donut shop, in case you hadn't noticed." "No, I hadn't, actually."

Get the architecture mug.Architecture is the study of building design, as well as the practice of designing buildings. The field of architecture does not require as much mathematical knowledge as engineering; instead, a greater emphasis is placed on creativity and artistry. The average salary for architects is within the 70-80 thousand margin, while "rookie" architects may start off making around 40 thousand.
