a word from the professors:
When asked to comment on the N/S/E/W orientation of the Farnsworth house:
"Well, with that house it doesn't make a damn bit of difference"
Quote from Professor Ambrose (FYI: another architecture professor):
In describing a student's model of a house:
"that's one sexy model"
Quote from Professor Cooper (FYI: my 1st semester architecture professor):
to a student:
"do you somke?"
(student, although fearing a repremand, nodds the affirmative)
"Can I bum a smoke?"
Quote from Professor Klamon (FYI: another architecture professor):
Matt: "Prof. Klamon..?"
Klamon: "did you just call me Doctor Klamon?"
Matt: "no, but you play one on TV right?"
Klamon: "no, but do at home"
Quote from Professor Kraus (FYI: the new one & my 2nd semester architecture professor):
"You need to think about the 'aprooch' to your building"
Quote from Windy (a TA):
"You don't understand glass!" (must be spoken with proper chinese accent)
Quote from Ronnie (a TA):
"so, while we're waiting for Maya let's play Mafia..."
*told on the second day of studio*
"so, the other day I saw two tampons walking down the street, and I started talking to them. What do you think they said to me?"
"nothing, they're both stuck up cunts!"
*later retold to Prof. Cooper*
Nate: "I'd go, but I have tea."
Professor Massey: "The funny thing about all these designs is that there's no place to eat and no place to shit...oh wait, is that what the trills of water are for? to take away the sewage?"
Professor Goode: "That makes it much easier; I don't have to worry about getting my eye poked out by a tree."
Nick holds up a sign: "Go Rob"
*Rob is so enrptured with his drawings that he doesn't even notice*
*The audience does the wave and Rob still doesn't notice*
Ted: "Hi, I'm Ted and I designed a geology bookstop."
Nick: "...here I manifested it in theses elephants..."
*none of the critiquers notice*
Nick: "kind of ironically, everything here [pointing to wooden elements in the model] that you see in wood would be made of metal and these, the trees [represented in wire], would be of wood."
Professor Goode: "is the sculptor going to use a drill [modern] or a chisel [classical]?"
Professor Cooper: "well Michelangelo used his drill as much as his chisel"
*tense silence from the students*
