Introducing Flex Flat, our late entry into the Chicago Architecture Center’s Missing Middle competition. No matter the location of a standard-sized lot, Flex Flat is designed to fit into any neighborhood. Flex Flat features options from 2-4 stories and 4-8 units, from studios to 4-bedroom duplexes.

15 pages on how the English restoration shaped the design of St Paul’s cathedral that was done the night before it was due, while completely sleep deprived after my final studio review.

Professor gave me a higher grade than it deserved.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

I will kick some Dallas ass if they even try to demolish this thing

NEW: I wrote about Dallas City Hall. Designed by I.M. Pei, it's an incredible feat of architecture that was meant to embody progressivism and a new start after the JFK assassination. At the end of the month, city leaders could vote to tear it down: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

One of Texas' architectural masterpieces could soon face demolition

The building was designed by foundational architect I.M. Pei.

Ah you think concrete is your ally? You merely poured the concrete. I was cured in it, formed by it. I didn't see another material until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but inferior!
