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.

Sue: That was Jim. He's a Solutions Architect

John: Ah right.

Architect Jenga

When you take the Jenga blocks and create your own tower with them. It takes more skill than regular Jenga since everybody doesn't know where the structurally unimportant blocks are. It also takes skill to create the tower, instead of just turning the container upside down.

Harry: Wow, that looks pretty cool.

Tom: You haven't played Architect Jenga before?

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!!!"
