- You've not worked with architects then.
I've had precisely one architect I've worked with over the years who really had his shit together, and I've workedNairn - with some of the big names here in London.
They're generally oblivious to the constraints of practical reality, including timescales and specs.Nairn - you're just being lazy Nairn like all engineers, programmers etc, you tell me what's wrong with this: https://i.haasie.com…_niko

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

"You sound... not like I thought you'd sound."
That's because I'm white. I grew up in the same TOWN you did 30 minutes outside of the city. Just because I have black friends and listen to hip-hip doesn't mean I suddenly change the way I talk. That's like going to Paris and coming back with a french accent. Ya know what you sound like - a white man frontin to be street... not minding your golf clubs laying in the back seat.
Spare me on the street cred and grow the fuck up.
- always come back with a french accent though... otherwise whats the point...neverscared

Not sure if the non-U.S. users see as many Insurance advertisements as we do here in the states, but I have a lethal combination of punches for the folks at Libery Mutual. The sheer amount of money that is spent on their barrage of ads across all platforms is inconceivable (PRINCESS BRIDE!). And to then double down with two separate, awful, unfunny characters is just sickening. Think about how much money these companies have to blow on advertising - WITH SUCH GARBAGE! Literally just taking their ad budgets and lighting them on fire. I can't turn their ads off fast enough when I see or hear them!
