Humor that focuses explicitly on engineering (not architectural) downfalls, particularly the failure to adequately develop sound structural foundations. Furthermore, this body of humor focuses particularly on the poor education, living standards, and general hygiene that have led to the training of under-qualified and inexperienced engineers who, in turn have been unable to execute sound excavation practices.
Will: Haha, look at that stupid pink building, it sure does suck
Dan: Wow Will, do you just use architectural humor?
Will: Yes Dan.....Yes I did

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."

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.

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!!!"

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"

A supreme form of architecture that the Internet needs to fucking talk about, involving buildings being littered with an earth shattering amount of plants.
Josh’s best friend just hit on his girl, so he decided to calm down by looking at pictures of sustainable architecture.

A person who doesn't sleep at all. Regrets for choosing architecture as a career.Struggles for straight 5 painful years but still isn't appreciated enough.Underrated and also please this person has nothing to do with engineering.
Ted : hey wassup dude! You were up all night for the presentation. How was it?
Tyler: oh crap. My boss didn't even looked at me while I was presenting
Ted : oh dude I'm sorry you became Architecture student here
