More from Sean Godsell Architects:
"The sentiment of the kitchen table is western - the altar of the family. In this sense the house speculates on the potential emergence of an Australian vernacular born not simply from our European past but equally from our acceptance of our regional reality as part of Asia."
–it's a fucking kitchen table!
"What's for dinner?"
"I'm not sure yet, I'm too busy speculating on the potential emergence of an Australian vernacular born not simply from our European past but equally from our acceptance of our regional reality as part of Asia."
"So we're having sweet and sour chicken again?..."

Architectural Bullshit, #2
"The 100 Acres Art + Nature Park and the Visitor’s Pavilion is
the result of a studied relationship between building, land and
site-art with an infinite point of view. This place is born of wildly
turbulent, nature/culture phenomena constantly changing the
land’s structure. Tinkering with it as cultivated urban wilds
proves a sound means of joining Nature and City as a recovered,
unpredictably changing but cultivated landscape. Our ongoing
ambition is to craft a logic of ideas and physical works that
may open the repressed raw power of environment, art, and
architecture through a re-thinking and re-making of where we
already are. Here, the questions posed are born from within
the found condition — an immanent response, imbued with
convincing meaning and significance for the Museum of Art,
its patrons and the citizens of Indianapolis."
(Marlon Blackwell Architects)
OK, let's try to break it down:
"..is the result of a studied relationship between building, land and site-art with an infinite point of view."
–an infinite point of view? What?
"Our ongoing ambition is to craft a logic of ideas and physical works that may open the repressed raw power of environment, art, and architecture through a re-thinking and re-making of where we already are."
–I know where you are. Somewhere between la-la land and the wrong end of bad acid trip. Fuck off. Hippie.
"Here, the questions posed are born from within the found condition — an immanent response, imbued with convincing meaning and significance.."
–I find nothing convincing about that meaning, in fact I have trouble understanding what the fuck the meaning is in the first place, imbued or otherwise.

Architectural bullshit, #1
Architects are generally pathetic, attention-seeking and self-centred failed artists. They talk so much shit, such endless streams of bullshit that one has to wonder whether all that expensive education shouldn't include a course or two in grasping reality.
Here's an example from Sean Godsell Architects:
"There is invested in this building a strong sense of childhood that begins with the anticipation of travel and promotes the sense of reward that comes at the conclusion of a journey. The verandah exists in this house in an abstracted form."
(Translation: "I built a house. In the greater scheme of things, it is nothing special. It is just a house, for fucks sake. But hopefully my erratic verbal diarrhoea will confuse the world into believing otherwise. After all, I am an architect, and as such, highly educated AND creative. And worthy of special praise.")
How can a strong sense of childhood that begins with the anticipation of travel and promotes the sense of reward that comes at the conclusion of a journey be invested in a building? What does that even mean in this context? Also, I much prefer my verandah in the concrete form. A verandah is a fucking verandah, for god's sake.

Get a grip
Stupid bint
not only is she highly illiterate, she is also not particularly attractive.
If you are going to write inane, highly uninteresting stuff about your every mundane activity in life, at least use spellchecker now and again.
...then again, maybe she is just drunk or high, in which case she is suddenly rather attractive.

BNP teachers?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/8563044.stm
For fuck's sake, get things into perspective. We allow religious people to teach, and in many cases that is actually considered as being of great benefit to a society or community.
Frankly, in the greater scheme of things, it is just as detrimental to a child's development to be taught by someone who fundamentally believes that Britain should be racially pure, as by someone who fundamentally believes in immaculate conception and that dinosaurs lived alongside humans.
Both sets of beliefs halt our development as a species by reinforcing counterproductive ideas that are not founded on reason or fact.
Both sets of beliefs are inherently hostile towards those who have other convictions.
Both sets of beliefs are essentially born out of fear and ignorance, be it xenophobia, death, the human condition or the fear of a malevolent, omnipotent master.
So BNP members can't join the the police force. I can relate to that sentiment, ie a racist police officer can't actually protect and serve a community that isn't racially pure. But it is OK for a religious person to protect and serve communities that are of mixed beliefs? I mean, being a church going christian police officer will not in any way impede on one's ability to fairly deal with members of the public who are, say, Muslim or Jewish, right? Wrong. Religion and racism are equally irrational beliefs, and equally dangerous. Sadly, quite often they are the same.
But no, oh no, we mustn't go there, we cannot talk about the idiocy of religion, we cannot criticise religion, that great, benevolent fallacy that continues to make us have consider our lives and thoughts in relation to events that may or may not have happened sometime in the bronze-age. Have a go at every other stupid, uninformed, deranged belief but for god's sake leave good old religion alone.
