My summary of Fountainhead


so in today's Architecture Since 1900 class, we watched a movie called Fountainhead. Its pretty much about how an architect, whom I shall call Joe, refuses to follow conventional designs so that the world can see that modern architecture is the way. Its cool and all but since this was based on a book written by a woman, its gonna be stuffed with drama.

So it starts with Joe presenting his design to some investors, the investors like it but they think it needs some ricing [rice: the unnecessary addition of items to an item, usually vehicles] so of course Joe takes this as a slap in the face and gets all emo and doesn't do any designs, essentially no one wants him so he becomes a worker drilling holes in rocks.

In other news there is a woman whom I shall call Kim. So she now is some kinda architectural journalist for a newspaper called The Banner. The Banner is owned by her so called fiancé whom I shall call Don. So now Don proposes to Kim, she says w/e then all of a sudden she runs into the country side. Kim now in the countryside walks like nothing is bothering her into the mines where ppl are drilling rocks. Now to me seeing that she was dressed as if she was goin to a party and she jus hops into a sausage fest, she's askin to be raped [later on she proves she wants to be raped]

In the magical fields where handsome men drill holes into rock while caressing the drill in a gay manner, Kim spots Joe, Kim instantly falls in love with Joe and asks him why he's lookin at her [cus she's the only female for 50 miles]. Desperate for Joe to rape her, she deliberately breaks some marble on her fireplace so that Joe can fix it. Kim tries hard to get raped but Joe just fixes the marble and moves on. Now Kim tells Joe to return to finish fixing the fireplace, Joe sends a plummer guy to fix it. Kim gets pissed, goes out on her magic white horse to chase down Joe, finds him and slaps him cross the face with a whip. Joe thinking wtf comes back later in the night to give her a slap or two [she didn't really get slapped jus a one shove which caused her to trip twice like a real damsel in distress] anyways no rape happens here, jus frustration and a one kiss. Joe then runs away to the city as he magically gets a job as an architect.

Joe's building gets built, Kim comes to look at the building with Don and Kim is stunned to see that the rock driller is an architect. Kim then wanting to get raped again visits Joe again after everyone leaves and gets a one kiss.

Don then hires Joe to build Don and Kim's house, Kim goes apeshit and tells Joe to gtfo. Don and Joe end up being friends and Don makes Joe famous and Joe builds buildings. Then there is a ginger guy [even tho its black and white u can still tell he's a ginger] who wants to copy Joe's buildings so that Joe's dream can come thru and the ginger can get the money. After this I fell asleep apparently Joe goes to court for this and ends up innocent. Don goes bankrupt and makes Joe build a mega huge building. Don kills himself and Joe marries Kim. The End.

All in all the movie is stuffed with sarcasm and cigarette smoke as well as some smart ass comments. The sorta cool stuff still don't make up for the drama.

March 19th 2010 neevar forget

so this epic story started last week wen we [as a whole class] were assigned the task of doing a site analysis. the site was 2 empty lots behind devon house's back entrance [site a&b] now unlike other site analysis', the lecturers told us wat was needed, the location of the site and who is on what site. it was up to us to figure out who was gonna analyse wat.

this led to the argument of the century

big head #1 suggested we split up into site A and site B where one group would analyse northwards and one would go southwards

big head #2 suggested we split up into our tutorial groups [also called A and B] and split up even further to analyse specific items

big head #3 suggested we jus randomize and assign ppl to their strong points

while the biggerheads were organizing/planning/arguing the lecturers went off in lols to go and eat ice cream. I eventually got pissed and jus went out to do work, i wasnt the only one who jus did work, i think it was bout 10 of us or so..... neways on my return trip back to site B, which was the base camp for the big heads, orders were being dished out [finally!] so they told me to study cultural stuff [most of which i did already]. i was to do it with 3 others but by the time we crossed the street and do a one walk, we had to leave.

between last week and today we had 2 other big projects to do, one due tuesday and one due thursday.............

it was thursday evening [the 18th] wen the tribe leader said "yow guys u know we dont have shit for tmrw" after this there was panic. i calmly told tribe leader that i was gonna eat lunch then type up my info in a neat microsoft word document.

between my lunch break and me typin up my document, tribe leader and the group, of which i shall call tribe 1, went down to the site to get info we were supposed to get on friday, another small tribe went to hunt for building codes, only God knows were they went to look for that.

After the information was gathered, work was split into 2 groups, the ppl making the models [we needed 2 models] and the ppl doin the printed sheets [we needed at least 6 24"x36" sheets but we used 8] sometime in the evening i left to go home. tribe 1 planned on stayin the whole night to finish up the work

@ home, after reading fb, it seems only tribe 1 was at school, and little to no ppl else was there [btw tribe one is about 10-15 ppl out 40 mash students]

The Drama Begins
so i reach 8ish am, tribe one, who covered a good amount of ground during the night, was about to turn in some sleep. i [plus the group that came in @ 8am which i shall now call tribe 2] naturally stepped in to finish up. i did one of the models. as time progressed, the model was lookin more and more complete as more and more ppl pitched in around 11ish tribe 1 woke up and decided to entertain us with dances from night at the roxbury. this dancing ritual was brought to a halt when we got a 'ye guys ur a bit too loud' notice from the lecturers

all was fine and dandy on the model side, it was up to the print ppl to sort out themselves and print. by this time some of tribe 1 went home and a fresh new set of ppl [naturally called tribe 3] came in. now tribe 3's appearance caused some disruption, mainly cus some members felt tribe 3 didnt do shit. neways the males of the tribes didnt really give a shit neways and did work nonetheless about 1pm [an hour b4 it was due] the print ppl were ready to print.

we model ppl already confident in our progress decided to jus tidy up around the edges.....then light went.......light came back............light went again...............wtf? neways we still went along workin till someone said "o shit the papers finish print yet" and b4 long a tribe 1 member came down the stairs to deliver the news

"So yea guys 2 pages print and the 3rd one still in the printer, I'm goin home"

struck with shock most of us laughed at the irony, until we heard that a nigga crashed into a light pole.........

being irrate and all a mix of tribe 1 and tribe 2 went out to look at the accident so we could cus him off. the search was in vain as the accident was nowhere to be found. on our way back to the dungeon, Dr B the lecturer said, yo guys jus do smtn in the next 1/2 hr and still pinup. so since the model was mostly done tribe 1 and tribe 2 model ppl decided to help with the paper stuff [note the printing paper ppl were mostly tribe1] some tribe 3 finished the model while other tribe 3 were lookin around for alternative printing sources

tribe 3 member: ok there's this place called XYZ it costs $600.00 per sheet to print
tribe 1 member: that's $3,600.00 divide that by 25 ppl thats about $150 per person that not so bad
me: i have $15
same tribe 1 member: o ye im broke
same tribe 3 member: shiiiiiiit

neways 2:15pm we handed in

it ended up with tribe 1 being so pissed and tired that they didnt even present
tribe 2 was half and half
tribe 3 was in the presentation room tryin a thing

so much drama, in one day one blog cannot contain it

ze end
