Interiors are lovely, but the edifice itself? Egh. It's a hard one to love.Nairn - I tried explaining my fascination with brutalism to people with the same reaction. I guess I like a touch of dystopian.jagara

I have started sorting out my late mothers estate, which is going to take quite some time. She collected antiques and she inherited things from her mother and grandmother, so it will be tricky going through her old things which I will have to decide on keeping or moving on. Amongst the ornaments in her cabinet I found this odd, delicate and quite beautiful 7" high, glass model of a German Howitzer bomb! Decorating the sides are dates and depictions of 4 battles, the sieges of Maubeuge, Namur and Longwy as well as the Battle of Liège, all in August/Sept 1914, at the beginning of WW1.
There is a visible crack to the lid but otherwise it is pretty amazing that such a delicate piece has survived 2 world wars in Germany, I think it belonged to my great grandmother who was born and lived in there until the late 20's when they emigrated to America. I thought I would share some photos of it as it is pretty unique and a beautiful but sad reminder of such a terrible time and if anyone knows more about this glass bomb I'd be grateful for any info. I will be keeping it of course as I remember looking at it when I was a kid.
- Sorry you have to go through all that Gardener. Is her collection as wide and varied as your record collection?Ianbolton
- kinda, lots of unusual postcards, bookmarks, crockery, furniture etc, it'll take ages to sort through...Gardener
- That's a nice looking glass model though. And yeah, mad it's survived through all that.Ianbolton

Punches For:
I'll give you an example of Architect-thinking. I might've written here prior, or perhaps on Discord, or NTC.
Years ago in Italy, I and some friend were asked to come and help move a cupboard down some stairs and into a garage.
Person asking was an architect, one of the other people helping was an architect, and then there was me and another guy who is someone who advises organisations on how to make wine.
I take one look at the stairs and the cupboard, and say bluntly - we need to take this thing apart. Wine guy agreed, to the point of insistence.
Cupboard owner and other architect insisted it could be done without taking it apart. Ok, fuckit,not my deal, so we go with it.
After a half hour, scraped paint from walls and cupboard finish, there was the gradual admission that perhaps it would've been better to take the thing apart, which we had to in-situ, half way down the stairs,whilst it sat at a jaunty angle,because it would;ve taken another half hour to get it back upstairs again.
Wine guy and I took it apart in about five minutes, then another few minutes to get it downstairs and set up again. Job done.
.
My step-father was an architect, of some renown. Smart enough guy to set up business concepts beyond his well-renowned Northern English practice.
In an absolute sense, of course not all architects are shite, but by god is it a profession filled with people who have very little common sense or even a handle on their own profession.
Please allow me my rant, in this most rantiest of threads, which comes from an earnest and well-comprehended place of experience.
- it all went downhill when they stopped wearing bow ties...and dressed black.neverscared
- whats the cupboard owners job? let me guess... creative director... flippin pricksneverscared
- Not at all. Both of those architects are hugely competent in their respective domains. They just miss... something.Nairn
- they better be.. its one of the most time intensive universtiy things you can get into here .. other disciplines came off of like a fun show to study comparedneverscared
- to architecture... who knows maybe thats where it happens.. the missing or not missing thing.neverscared
- everyone thinks architects understand structure, whereas they rally haven't a clue. the people who make buildings stand up are the engineers...hans_glib
- ..employed by the architects to make their shitty sketches work. architects just fanny about, without a clue how real people actually live.hans_glib
- My wife works with a lot of doctors.. and huge amount of them also missing the "common sense" area of the braindee-dubs
- i doubt that... i had 2 years of -tragwerkslehre- structural enginnering at university...u build and have to calculate quite a lot...its only later that uneverscared
- decide specialising as engineer or architect. so to say- have no clue - is a lie.neverscared
- except austria is the exception in teaching to become an architect.neverscared
- if they ever return the favour it'll be to redesign the stairs so that the cupboard fitsFax_Benson

- My father-in-law was an architect and thought himself as sort of god within his own family. Egomaniac. Great buildings.bezoar

Quote someone
writer Virginia Woolf
"There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself."
