@VitruviusGrind Looove paper architecture models, thanks for sharing this awesome thread!

I've been exploring the world of papercraft architecture models over the past few months and I want to share some neat stuff I've encountered. 🧵Short thread 🧵 (Image: "Open-Air Cafe" by TERADAMOKEI)

@AbrahamNR The architectural inspiration for this hotel:

This is the kinda shit that would make a professor laugh at you in architecture school. Jesus.

@MelissaSHunt Good dogs, all of them!

It’s a #pittieparty #happysaturday

@CheriseLakeside @ARCAT_news @DetailedPodcast Love seeing you with Alejandro and @joysdavis!!

@JodyBrownArch Response in haiku titled: "Hire An Estimator" Why do we do this? Architects need to budget And stop wasting time

The design is done The pricing comes in too high Value Engineer #architecturehaiku

@JodyBrownArch Spec Girl My super power is mind reading!

What would your architecture superhero name be?

@FoundOgle You may need to look into another country, my friend! Canada is lovely!

@mwmoedinger Everyone mixes up these terms...everyone! I'm just thrilled that specs got a shout-out! Woohoo! Thank you!

@melodiusprime Excellent correction, thanks! I'm using the colloquial that I learned in construction, which isn't quite right....

9 things to consider when trying to compare construction estimates Hint: 🍎 to 🍎 is 🔑!! I used to be a construction estimator before I was an architect, and it serves me (and my clients) in good stead every day 💪

@CheriseLakeside @TimbersFC @timbersarmy So much fun! Thank you for the fabulous time, as always, my beautiful friend! @TimbersFC and @timbersarmy rocked! #TimberJoey

Invited @melodiusprime to her first @TimbersFC @timbersarmy experience yesterday and had such a great time! Lady, you are now officially an Oregonian! 😊 Remember, never forget your hand sanitizer! 😉 Grateful every day for the incredible people that the universe has seen fit to gift me as friends! #CSIKraken

@FernetBroncho My high school- I have so many friends whose children now attend. America will never prioritize children over guns- it is sickening.

Friend of mine's child played band their first high school football game in Choctaw last night and this is what happened. America has a sickness with guns and nobody in power wants to do anything about it except add more guns.

@mwmoedinger Yesterday a rep asked me to call him if he's a few minutes late to the meeting...I'm facilitating the meeting. No. I can't help but wonder if he would have asked a man this same question.

When I tell a man* onsite that he did something wrong, it's a whole song and dance around ego, my tone, my expertise, whether I embarrassed him in front of the other guys, etc. Meanwhile I'm looking at a window framed upside down going "why am *I* the problem here?!" *some, not all 😅😅😅

@CheriseLakeside You rock! Ooh, please send attendance so far for me to report them there @AIANational credits!

Logging in to #CDT Class No 3! Tonight marks 1/4 of the way through the Fall Series Class! #CSIKraken

@AbrahamNR The end of The Fly makes me cry every time. Both Goldblum and Davis are great!

One of the best films ever made. Goldblum doesn't get enough credit for how good of an actor he is.

Good morning remember to not feed the energy vampires today

@t__________duds I have a project with 100% DDs due on 8/23 and 50% CDs due 9/5...7 business days. Also, there is a special level of hell for people who set deadlines the day after a Monday holiday.

1 hour SD, 9 months DD, 18-24 years CA.

Construction: hurry up hurry up hurry up wait wait wait wait hurry hurry wait wait this will never be done in one zillion years I'm dying I hate everything hurry hurry wait wait ok now it's done bye

@FernetBroncho Yikes, thanks for this info, that's good to know! I'm admittedly out of the Okie loop (I do know not to eat at Swadleys and that Ryan Walters suuuuuucks)!

I love Elemental and Clarity for the coffee and the great baristas but I do not enjoy hanging out there. Summer Moon is a bad company who has been publicly anti-abortion they fuckin suck

@FernetBroncho I like Elemental coffee, but the benches aren't comfy. Stopped into Clarity Coffee once- coffee was good and the inside was cute, but it somehow felt religious? Not OKC, but Summer Moon Coffee in Yukon has a big area to lounge in while you get caffeinated.

Everybody is mad at me about this but hasn't actually given suggestions that fit the criteria of 1) having great coffee 2) comfortable 3) being in OKC, Bethany doesn't count, places with couches with bad coffee doesn't count, this is a trifecta
