ahh architects. A species all their own.
check 'em out on tv or film. romanticized - they look like intelligent otherworldly types, their speech issuing forth in well-formed, eloquent quips about the deeper meaning of the shape of a steel girter, or the true feelings hidden deep within the .25 ga metal stud. Apparently even Keanu Reeves is permitted to spew such crap as long as he's playing an architect.
It's one of those career choices readily available to the public, and yet so foreign. Everyone knows what they do -vaguely- little ones run around telling their first grade teachers that they will grow up to be big and strong and doctors or architects or spacemen or the like. Yet it's not a profession i think highschoolers profess to their college counselors with quite as much frequency. there must be a real passion running through their veins for this pursuit to be realized.
So while architects such as Frank Ghery or Corbusier (or Corbu as we, his inner circle call him), are well known for their sculptural masterpieces, there is more to this story. The true genius of architects lies in their little known skill as defiers of all the known laws of physics. It's true. They bend time. Don't ask me how this is accomplished for i've never actually witnessedthis phenomenon myself. I simply know the unshakable faith they have in their kind to achieve this mystery.
Take for example my schedule of the past few weeks. These masterminds have determined it's entirely feasable to fit 92 hours into 40.
I'm telling you -they're brilliant.
