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

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

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!

For More Fun with Architecture, try:  Do-it-yourself-architectural-dialogue  and Architecture Bingo !

In no particular order . . . . .
