Architecture blogs

There are so many blogs on architecture! All quite the same; all quite a bit different.

Here's a funny quote I came across from PIDGIN: Princeton's architecture newsletter, written by Annie Choi.

"Architects love to discuss how much sleep they have gotten. One will say how he was at the studio until five in the morning, only to return again two hours later. Then another will say, oh that is nothing. I haven’t slept in a week. And then another will say, guess what, I have never slept ever. My dear architects, the measure of how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve accomplished is not related to the number of hours you have not slept. Have you heard of Rem Koolhaas? He is a famous architect. I know this because you tell me he is a famous architect. I hear that Rem Koolhaas is always sleeping. He is, I presume, sleeping right now."

I'll tell you that students do love to brag. It's kinda like a "who did it where best". Someone in studio would madly proclaim that the only time one got some shut eye was while driving home. It gets smelly and humid as shit during charrette. I tend to steer clear of studio during massive activity. I don't know usually know who's in or not cus I need my 8 hours of sleeep.
