Less Adjectives More Verbs In other words, less talking more doing. A blog about architecture, studying it, things related to it, things related to studying it, and other things. Get to know me on my personal weblog Slogans, Band Names, Blog Titles, Etc and at the LessAmoreV Archive Project, an unfiltered collection of every post I've ever liked.

(Signal boost.) Get help if you ever feel even slightly overwhelmed. That’s the most important thing I’ve learned in my 3rd year.

Quotable quote from my interim review feedback:

“Unbelievable and unrealistic premise beautifully and realistically presented.”

(I wonder if that’s the sort of praise people get at the Bartlett. Unrealistic, but pretty. Still, nice to have your work described as beautiful! Doesn’t happen very often.)

Interim Review Predictions

  • What you’re saying isn’t reflected in the drawings.
  • Where did you get that image?
  • That’s a great model but you haven’t used it very well.
  • Where’s the site?
  • Why are you late? You weren’t buying Radiohead tickets were you?
  • Incidentally, I got standing Radiohead tickets this morning.
  • How did you get from point A to point B?
  • Lineweights.
  • Your 3D model is just floating in space.
  • You look tired. Did you get any sleep last night?
  • Can I draw on this?

Interim crits are harsh. Since everyone is at different stages, it basically turns into a free-for-all. No holds barred, yall! I should get some sleep if I’m to be up in time to buy Radiohead tickets.

I modified the badge I got at my college’s arts fair before I started uni, to reflect my current state of mind.

I modified the badge I got at my college’s arts fair before I started uni, to reflect my current state of mind.

It’s a desktop version of Google Maps, but you can save the current view as an image by hitting command-S and enter x2, then dragging the view across and repeat, really quickly and easily getting high-res aerial photos. Then stitch them together in Autostich/Calico or Photoshop.

It saves you screengrabbing tonnes of tiny pictures online because of the keyboard shortcuts and also you save a huge area of the photo. Changed my life. (Mac only, free.)

Shit Architecture Students Say

“Your line weights are sexy.” Say that all the time.

I like drawing on the wall because I can hang out with my posters.

This is the most I’ve printed at once and it’s only about 40% of my portfolio. MAN.

By the way the development sheet only turned out to be 5m so you know.
