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.

A very large quantity; too large a number to rationalize.

"That's ashitton of kids man."

Solutions Architect

Solutions Architect is one of a number of job titles used for someone working in IT who has no real function.

Solutions Architects wander around looking important and can often be seen in meetings although no one is quite sure why they are there.

John: That guy in the meeting just now. Any idea who he was and why he was there?

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

John: Ah right.

architrave

suave, cool, with swag, if you will

derived from the the italian architrave to describe a lintel that rests upon the capital of a column, a feature in Classical architecture--for the intelligentsia, a way to show off your superficial art history vocabulary to describe something hip

Maddie: Jared, that picture of you at the Musee D'Orsay is so poetic, so architrave.
Newbs: ??????
Jared: Touche.

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?
