Last Friday.

so LAST FRIDAY. damnit jason.
i had an awesome day thru out the entire day. my studio time ended awesome at 4:00pm and i was really happy that my busiest week so far this semester finally ended. so ...again somebody invited me to the review/ desk critique for his 202 studio at 4:00...so i went at 4:00.  It was a series project...making a cave...then landscape....then Archive. just like any other projects that was made up. ODD. so anyways, this critique is on the last part of the project: Archive. and one student brought over a glass vase...." this is my project" BTW, EVERYBODY IN THIS STUDIO TALKS LIKE JASON. WHICH MEANS..YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT...AND THEY TALK IN JASON'S WORDS. LIKE....USE THE WORDS THAT JASON SAYS  TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. AND THEY SOUNDS LIKE GRADUATES STUDENTS WHEN DEFENDING THEMSELVES. but anyways. so...this student was asked to brought over his previous projects. hmmm he had...bunch of glasses that has plants in it... put on a piece of wood. This is landscape. and he had a larger glass that has one plant in it...call it..cave....so...his archive..is a glass...LOL. idk..the first thing that pops in my mind...is this is such a literal way of thinking..............................................
but anyways.....he said the glass vase contains whatever you want. he wants people to imagine through it. and my critique was...i think he was proposing a question without an answer..rather than an open ended question that can have multiple answers. he should have done something to it...give a hint, so the viewer will be able to imagine through it.
one student said he kinda like it, cuz it's kinda true in architecture as well...that it doenst matter what the architects' ideas are...what the people experience can be totally different than is expected.  which i agree.however at the same time, the spaces are designed by the architects. architects all have an intention when they are making spaces. J agreed with me on saying, to any degree form follows function.
That's where it all started...Jason started talking lots of craps saying me not understanding the idea...blah blah blah..and form doesnt have to follow function...like...in COD..with that round shape you cant tell there's an auditorium in it. and king pavillion, you cant tell it's studio in it. blah blah blah....my point is! even though you cant tell what is in it exactly in it. The fact that the form is different from the rest of the building is sufficient enough in telling me there's something going on in this portion of the builiding. and even if the building is in a united single form, how much facade is transparenct, solid, floor to floor height blah blah blah all to some extend, determined by its function. It doesnt matter in real world how poorly they are done (jason's example is the poor acoustic effect in auditoriums), but what they are suppose to be. but anyways he got all crazy talking and defending his students. and then his students started to educated me that....FORM DOESNT NEED TO FOLLOW FUNCTION. i found it unnecessary to argue about an argument that has been discussed long in architecture history. and it's true that form doesnt NEED TO follow function but seriously!? how stupid this is. and the fact is that it doesnt even matter if form has to follow function. Even in a building,say...frank ghery concert hall.... that form barely follows function, it is still a designed builidng that architects have his intention in it.  so thru the form that i can imagine, and want to go in there.SO WHATS THE MATTER WITH PUTTING A HUGE GLASS VASE ON THE TABLE AND SAY I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE THROUGH IT. imagine through what!?!?!??!?! what makes me want to give a second look to the glass vase, whats my drive????????? well...i didnt say all these after jason started talking crazy, and i dont want to make the kid feel bad. he probably was already anyways.

so ...i was mad.

yep and i am still mad.
i am not going to talk to this person in the near future. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME!!!
