"He was a tenured professor of architecture—a position buttressed by his renown as a 'paper architect.'
That is to say, he was an esteemed architect whose reputation rested on his designs, rather than on the buildings constructed from them."

Get the The Architect mug.A person who designs, devises, or constructs social interactions with a predetermined goal in mind. For example, if one such architect sought to maximize his or her sex appeal, or rather more generally their value, one would direct the flow of conversation in such a manner that portrayed the architect as one with the highest level of value, while also lowering the value of others to further elevate himself/herself. That being said, the goal of each individual architect may vary from simply "getting laid" to engineering the perspective of a generation.

Get the Social Architect mug.Thinking Man's Metal
Spiral Architect is the extremely talented metal band based in Oslo, Norway. Their first album, "A Sceptic's Universe," is 40-some-odd minutes of mediocrity being thrashed on the musical and lyrical levels; people who like to dance to shitty two-note "basslines" will never comprehend the awesomeness incarnate that is Spiral Architect. If you're into stupid bullshit songs about "love" and "peace," then Spiral Architect's lyrics will make no sense to you, since they cannot be comprehended by the thoroughly mediocre. The album was recorded not far from the grand city of El Paso in Tornillo, TX.

Spiral Architect goes beyond progressive, exploring the realms of complexity and intensity that pushes the nature of technical metal further.
"A Sceptic's Universe" is not for the fainthearted!
It may cause serious damage to your mental health.
