the fact that vincent van gogh was deeply sad and yet he still found the courage to paint the most beautiful, richly colored paintings never fails to amaze me. it reminds me that despite the sadness in our hearts and the weight of the world, there is beauty and life too.

You’re in the squad because of your optimized combat build and heavy weapons. I’m in the squad because they’re trying to romance me and want to hear my dialogue options. We are not the same.

Ukraine-based artist Nikita Busyak captures this effect in his enchanting pen and ink illustrations of cityscapes. In each architectural drawing, he digitally manipulates the windows so that they glow with golden light, making it seem as though someone is home.

150 Weird Words That Only Architects Use by Rory Stott
For most students of architecture, the first few years of learning involve a demanding crash course in architectural jargon. From learning terms as obscure as “gestalt” to redefining your understanding of ideas as simple as “space,” learning the architectural lexicon is one of the most mind-bending processes involved in becoming a designer.
[…]
It’s important to remember that this isn’t a list of words you should immediately stop using; simply be aware of who you’re talking to, and be sure that if you do use any of these words they are necessary and appropriate in the context you use them.
This list is by no means exhaustive; with over 750 comments across our original article and three Facebook posts, we had to cap it somewhere! Included here are the words that were mentioned most often and which we had encountered ourselves. So without further ado, and in no particular order, here is our readers’ list of 150 weird words that only architects use:
