  • But wait! There’s more…….

    Within a day of creating the architectural-obfuscation-station, I stumbled upon these gems in the spring course-listing.  p.s. Rem didn’t use a single ONE of the words from my  list.  And he’s a professor.  What the What?  Clarity is convincing afterall.

    Contemporaneity

    Milieu

    Tropes

    Contrivances

    Discursive

    Formal significations

    Hegemonic

    Genericity

    Conflations

    Morphogenesis

    Modalities

    Overdetermined

    Appropriated

    Multiply-ramifying (huh?)

  • The Lexicon – Obfuscation at it’s finest

    After two months of resisting, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that grad school reviews require conformity, or death.  The following is my first iteration of THE LEXICON, a list of words  I’ve compiled from my reviews and critiques.  Words only made the list if I’ve heard them at least twice.   The lexicon reminds me of one of my favorite client -phone-call games…..The  “do-it-yourself architectural dialogue” matrix.  Have fun!   Impress your friends!
