Carchitecture

Carchitecture is architecture that is car-centric, like drive-thrus street side parking lots, strip malls, single story businesses, and most building types or rules dedicated to drive by traffic. Also, safety islands, mandated set-backs, cul-de-sacs, fenced in parking, highway fuel stops and rest areas. Often the needs of people are secondary or non-existent to the needs of the car in a carchitecture environment. Exists mostly in the exurbs, or in suburbia. May cause depression and antisocial behavior.

I can't stand how everything is so far away from your house even though it's right next door! Because of all this friggin' carchitecture I have to walk around three fences to get a quart of milk. Next time I go I'm bringing my wire cutters.

Carchitecture

Architecture and landscape design heavily influenced by the need or desire to accommodate personal automobiles. Examples include apartments built on top of parking garages, looping driveways that trade open space for pavement, drive-throughs, or any building with legally mandated parking minimums.

Person 1: "Why is America all parking lots?"
Person 2: "IDK, carchitecture sucks."

fuck you architecture 

insincere, inauthentic, dishonest, and ugly building design meant to meet the bare code, legal and zoning requirements for standing domiciles whilst achieving one goal and one goal only : making money off the public and usually in the most blunt, crass and direct way.

Wal-Mart Inc. employs fuck you architecture in almost all of its' stores and surrounding properties.

Architecture 5 

A tropical modern building with an elevator. The name of a club in Brixton. A definition of narrative that resists complicated responses, because it's so fucking cool.

"What did you do on Saturday night?" "Oh, nothing much. Chucked back a few Malibu and Oranges, and all that." "Where did you go?" "Architecture 5." "Dude, that's really weird. That's where I went too." "No." "Yes!" "Shut up!" "No, seriously. I met this amazing, amazing guy. His name is Scott and when it was time to go, I heard this voice in my head, and it said, you have just met your future husband." "What, like a voice inside you or something you actually heard?" "I don't know." "Wow." "Yeah." "But, I think you should take it easy. You've been through a lot lately." "I know, but...he was really cute." "Define cute." "I don't know." "You're a little bit stupid, aren't you?" "What?" "Oh, I was just asking Terry where the olives were." "How is Terry, anyway?" "Terry! Terry, how are you?" "Fine." "He says he's fine."

architecture studio 

1: Where architecture students go to work. They live and will die in there. All hopes and dreams are lost, and time is fake. Also, they get so tired and sleep deprived that even a toaster will turn them on.

2: A reference to where architecture students are.

Friend 1: Where is Alex?
Friend 2: Where do you think? At architecture studio.
Friend 1: That poor prick. My prayers to him.
