Architecture 1

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."

archispeak

Large, made-up words that architects and designers use to make themselves sound smarter than you (you being the client or the confused observer of design). It does nothing to inform or enlighten the consumer of architecture and mostly serves to numb them into obedience or self doubt.

"I went to Rem Koolhaas' lecture last night."

"What did he talk about?"

"I have no idea. It was all in archispeak. Either I'm stupid or the guy is brilliant!"

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.

Archivalist

A combination of the words Archivist and Survivalist.

Used to denote someone who hordes information that may help in any random situation, much like a survivalist makes preparations for widespread catastrophe.

Person A: Why do you have e-books on Lockpicking, Herbal remedies, Helicopter Piloting and 1000 other random subjects?

Person B: I'm an archivalist....I can't help it.
