Hi guys.. hope your exams have been going well..

I know that Peter has already mentioned Pushpullbar before in the cadlab blog, but I really cant tell you how cool it is!!!

For those of you who are, or at least did photography, there is a black and white architectural photography started by our very own Fayj!

There are all sorts of discussions that, I think at least, by now you should be wanting to take part in.

So there we go.. my part for the forum.. so get cracking!!!!!

My sister is an endless pitt of funny quotes, her latest:

Architecture is like a box of chocolates, it wouldn't be the same without the nuts.

Reading the blog the other day, I was shocked to discover the design exam is closed book... Not that we have any books or anything, but I feel comfort in knowing I have a few things written on paper for exam where we don't really know whats potting... So I decided to take out my Arch215 (design) course outline and this is what I discovered, and I quote:

"TESTS & EXAMS
There will be a written theoretical test during the June Exams. A final year written theoretical exam will also take place. Both written exams are OPEN BOOK exams."

So I ask, are they allowed to change their minds like that? Thanks Feige for your info, but if the only source is Kirsten is it reliable as tutors and our lecturer often seem to be on different planets... Also, not everyone seems to know about this, not everyone has internet access...

Since Im sure most of you won't scroll down to look at my design exam post, and will be calling me until I am forced to change my ring tone, bc its officially annoying me... :)

THE DESIGN EXAM IS NOT OPEN BOOK! (Before you complain, we have no book to open-dunno what you guys are planning on learning, but this exam for me is purely going to be the art of bull shitting- hopefully well- not that teh rest aren't. )
