Hey! You should come in for the seminar they're doing at the Philadelphia Museum of Art about the museum's architecture and how it has changed/will change...

this is all based on the idea that the value of architecture is determined by multiple people's opinions, or that quality is subjective. obviously if you are going to make as name for yourself, you are going to have to prove your worth by other people's rules. but fuck that. fuck that with a 9 foot pole. make architectural shit that you like. then when people are all worried about the evolution of the art and co-assimilations with culture and all that crap, you can just be like "Hey, I made something I enjoyed, I did my best, and that's all that matters." Snobs are only well-versed in things that are important to other snobs. Sometimes I wonder if I, a snob, ever am able to enjoy things I say I am a master of. You know? Like, we worry so much about living up to expectations that we aren't able to enjoy something for what it is
