Architorture

1)According to Ryerson's University's ACU bulletin board:
"The study of building and design - while testing the limits of the mind, body, and soul"

2)Combining two words that comprise your studying experience to becoming an architect: Architecture and Torture

3) When you're stressing out on assignments, essays, tests, and let's not forget - STUDIO ---> ALL AT THE SAME TIME

4) When you're "charette-ing" all night in studio

OMG, I've been architortured.

Industrial Architecture

These are structures and buildings such as factories, furnaces, power plants, manufacturing facilities, heavy-duty pipes, etc. Industrial architecture also descibes the features and appearance of these industrial structures. Buildings of industrial architecture are usually found in scattered areas inside or outside the outer fringes of a city, or amassed in a large designated area known as an industrial park.

Industrial architecture can be found everywhere and in every town. The cover of the Alan Parsons Project album "Ammonia Avenue", features a road surrounded by a large system of heavy-duty industrial pipes carrying ammonia and other chemicals.

architecture

A course where students slave over countless hours of work to hopefully receive a C. It is also expected that most of the students will switch into a more fulfilling major that is easier.

"My architecture class is great this week. I've gotten two hours of sleep and I almost have a C in the class.

Architecture

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. It is very possible to become very wealthy as an architect, though it is uncommon. Someone who becomes famous for their designs and is very sought after is known as a "starchitect."

Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice is an example of Byzantine architecture.

architectural masturbation

When a design professional produces a design that incites a "gasm," resulting in the enthusiastic exclamation of "Ah..." or a simliar sound.

Sergio practiced architectural masturbation when he designed a Gothic Cathedral and excalimed: "Mon-a-mii!!!"

Masters of Architecture

Piece of paper that says you killed yourself over several EXTRA years of bullshit schooling. Typically students never sleep, have no social life, constantly wonder if they will graduate and would rather die a slow painful death. These "students" are often so confused by their teachers and constant over analization that even the simplest of things no longer make any sense. Additionally these people make very little money for all of their work.

"Dude you really confused the shit out of everyone"

"Dude you really Masters of Architecture'd that one"

or

"Dude you really MArch'ed that one up, your gonna fail"

High school for construction trades, engineering, and architecture

A school with the most unnecessary long name. Ran by a 6' 6" 300 pound ego maniac who makes students wear uniforms but yet promotes creativity. Said to be a noteworthy school for its construction trades and engineering courses, but it is in fact only a small part of the curriculum. Just a very fake school in general, bound to be housing some of NYC's most dangerous kids by 2020.

Random Nigga: What school you go to? Me: High school for construction trades, engineering, and architecture.Random Nigga: What the hell is that?
