...je naslov odprtega pisma Annie Choi.
Najprej pismo, potem pa še nekaj informacij o pisateljici.
Dear Architects
Once, a long time ago in the days of yore, I had a friend who was studying architecture to become, presumably, an architect. This friend introduced me to other friends, who were also studying architecture. Then these friends had other friends who were architects - real architects doing real architecture like designing luxury condos that look a lot like glass dildos. And these real architects knew other real architects and now the only people I know are architects. And they all design glass dildos that I will never work or live in and serve only to obstruct my view of New Jersey.
Do not get me wrong, architects. I like you as a person. I think you are nice, smell good most of the time, and I like your glasses. You have crazy hair, and if you are lucky, most of it is on your head. But I do not care about architecture. It is true. This is what I do care about:
*burritos
*hedgehogs
*coffee
As you can see, architecture is not on the list. I believe that architecture falls somewhere between toenail fungus and invasive colonoscopy in the list of things that interest me.
Perhaps if you didn’t talk about it so much, I would be more interested. When you point to a glass cylinder and say proudly, hey my office designed that, I giggle and say it looks like a bong. You turn your head in disgust and shame. You think, obviously she does not understand. What does she know? She is just a writer. She is no architect. She respects vowels, not glass cocks. And then you say now I am designing a lifestyle center, and I ask what is that, and you say it is a place that offers goods and services and retail opportunities and I say you mean like a mall and you say no. It is a lifestyle center. I say it sounds like a mall. I am from the Valley, bitch. I know malls.
Architects, I will not lie, you confuse me. You work sixty, eighty hours a week and yet you are always poor. Why aren’t you buying me a drink? Where is your bounty of riches? Maybe you spent it on merlot. Maybe you spent it on hookers and blow. I cannot be sure. It is a mystery. I will leave that to the scientists to figure out.
Architects love to discuss how much sleep they have gotten. One will say how he was at the studio until five in the morning, only to return again two hours later. Then another will say, oh that is nothing. I haven’t slept in a week. And then another will say, guess what, I have never slept ever. My dear architects, the measure of how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve accomplished is not related to the number of hours you have not slept. Have you heard of Rem Koolhaas? He is a famous architect. I know this because you tell me he is a famous architect. I hear that Rem Koolhaas is always sleeping. He is, I presume, sleeping right now. And I hear he gets shit done. And I also hear that in a stunning move, he is making a building that looks not like a glass cock, but like a concrete vagina. When you sleep more, you get vagina. You can all take a lesson from Rem Koolhaas.
Life is hard for me, please understand. Architects are an important part of my existence. They call me at eleven at night and say they just got off work, am I hungry? Listen, it is practically midnight. I ate hours ago. So long ago that, in fact, I am hungry again. So yes, I will go. Then I will go and there will be other architects talking about AutoCAD shortcuts and something about electric panels and can you believe that is all I did today, what a drag. I look around the table at the poor, tired, and hungry, and think to myself, I have but only one bullet left in the gun. Who will I choose?
I have a friend who is a doctor. He gives me drugs. I enjoy them. I have a friend who is a lawyer. He helped me sue my landlord. My architect friends have given me nothing. No drugs, no medical advice, and they don’t know how to spell subpoena. One architect friend figured out that my apartment was one hundred and eighty seven square feet. That was nice. Thanks for that.
I suppose one could ask what someone like me brings to architects like yourselves. I bring cheer. I yell at architects when they start talking about architecture. I force them to discuss far more interesting topics, like turkey eggs. Why do we eat chicken eggs, but not turkey eggs? They are bigger. And people really like turkey. See? I am not afraid to ask the tough questions.
So, dear architects, I will stick around, for only a little while. I hope that one day some of you will become doctors and lawyers or will figure out my taxes. And we will laugh at the days when you spent the entire evening talking about some European you’ve never met who designed a building you will never see because you are too busy working on something that will never get built. But even if that day doesn’t arrive, give me a call anyway, I am free.
Yours truly,
Annie Choi

Šele zdaj sem si vzel čas da sem prebral v celoti... Fantastična diagnoza arhitektov...

A nam ni Realist dopovedoval nekaj podobnega...?

Ja, tudi moja žena pozna enega arhitekta. Pravi, da ko zvečer pride z dela domov, zna samo reči kako je utrujen in že gre za računalnik. Čeprav za računalnikom skoraj zaspi, ne odneha, dokler se resno ne razjezi nanj.
Saj bi še kaj napisal, a me že jezno kliče. "Že greeeeeeem." |

Članek (?) je copy-paste in samo pojasnuje logiko zaslužka oziroma, da je v življenju potrebno imeti tudi (pardonez moi) jajca. Moj naročnik je nekoč rekel: "pri denarju se pogajam kot žid, plačujem pa kot car!" (žal ne carsko). Z nobenim od svojih naročnikov se doslej nisem nikoli uspel pogovarjati o arhitekturi. Ko načnem temo v upanju, da bo sogovornik pariral se le-ta umakne za korak, me postrani pogleda in utihne. Niti enozložnice ni od njega.
Tale članek o arhitektih sem si prebral šele sedaj in je lepo sovpadel s tistim, kar sem prejel po mailu. Z malo metafizike lahko vseeno ugotovimo, da arhitekti nimamo pojma o tem kako se svet zares vrti. Pred par dnevi sem po TV gledal film Plečnik-Fabiani in, če odmislim vznesene poglede na arhitekturo, je zaključek preprost: Fabiani se je muval v visokih krogih in je imel bogate in zanj radodarne mecene (naročnike). Plebejc Plečnik pa se je mukoma prebijal od objekta do objekta. A sem realist? Ja, saj delam za sedaj in tukaj. Mogoče bo celo obstalo za en del prihodnosti.
Sedaj pa članek, ki opisuje drugo temo jaz pa v njem vidim kako elementarno je lahko človeško življenje, brez prevelikega razglabljanja, teorij in kakobibiločebibilo. Pa brez pomote, napisanega v članku ne zagovarjam, je pa zanimivo za prebrati ekstrakt dogodka.
Za Slovenijo enakih možnosti ali kako zaslužiti 350.000 € v enem letu
Več kot leto dni je minilo odkar je prenehal teror kriminalcev ciganskega porekla in življenjskega stila, nad lokalnim, slovenskim prebivalstvom v Suhi krajini.
Spomnimo se, da je takrat oblast, prvič po mnogo letih, s pomočjo policije, pretepala Slovence.
Ti so, po več kot osmih letih obupa, zaradi pasivnosti državnih organov, ignorance policije in ciganske kriminalitete, zbrali pogum in množično ter nenasilno izrazili svoje mnenje.
Takrat je slovenska »pravna« država, v kateri vladata »red in pravičnost«, ne le fizično obračunavala s Slovenci, temveč se je odkrito postavila v bran kriminaliteti in nasilju.
Spomnimo se, da je do »upora v Ambrusu« prišlo zaradi fizičnega napada skupine prebivalcev iz ciganskega naselja, na domačina, Slovenca, ki je hudo poškodovan, v komi obležal v ljubljanskem Kliničnem centru.
V preteklem letu so kriminalce, skupaj z otroci, (namesto, da bi prve zaprli, drugim pa bi Center za socialno skrbstvo zagotovil dostojno otroštvo v skladu s slovenskimi zakoni) selili najprej v Postojno, kjer so bili »prisiljeni živeti v obupnih razmerah« - v ogrevanih prostorih, požirati brezplačno hrano in prejemati denarno podporo, medtem ko so njihovi otroci trpeli, saj jih je na »domu« obiskovala učiteljica.
Po mnogih poskusih preselitve na boljšo lokacijo, so se končno zadovoljili z najvrednejšo od ponujenih, parcelo v MO Ljubljana.
Pogoltna narava kriminalcev pač ne dovoljuje cenenih stvari.
Medtem ko so zaradi svojega trpljenja brezplačno prejemali le najboljše izdelke, je na tisoče Slovencev v trgovinah preračunavalo ali si lahko privoščijo Alpsko mleko in Rio mare tunino.
Trpljenja ciganske družine Strojan je bilo konec prav pred nekaj dnevi, ko je njihov prijatelj in zaveznik ter veliki ljubitelj Slovencev (kadar mu to koristi), Janez Podobnik končno dosegel dogovor z velikim moralnežem in zgodbi o uspehu, odvetnikom Aleksandrom Čeferinom.
Gozdno zemljišče v Suhi krajini, je bilo tako zamenjano z zazidljivim zemljiščem v ljubljanskih Rojah, na katerem stoji tudi večji gradbeni objekt.
Razlika v vrednosti zemljišč je zanemarljiva in se po nekaterih ocenah giblje v razmerju okoli 1 proti 15.
Kratka logika:
če je Elka Strojan staro zemljišče lahko prodala za 25.000 €, bo za novo zemljišče z objektom lahko iztržila skoraj 400.000 €.
V dobrem letu, jim je tako uspelo povečati svoje premoženje za borih 375.000 Evrov, česar številne slovenske družine ne morejo zaslužiti v 40 letih!
Teh 400.000 € je seveda le minimalna nagrada za 8 let tatvin, ropov, uničevanja lastnine, požiganja, ustrahovanja, pretepanja, raznega nasilništva,maltretiranja, posiljevanja, izsiljevanja, objestne vožnje, povzročanja prometnih nesreč ter neznanega števila prekrškov, ki so jih je povzročili pripadniki »družine« Strojan.
Skupaj je bilo po uradnih podatkih zoper člane družine Strojan prijavljenih 126 kaznivih dejanj, pri katerih je tožilstvo večinoma odstopalo od pregona.
Obstaja utemeljen sum, da je 126 prijavljenih kaznivih dejanj le vrh ledene gore in so ciganski kriminalci storili vsaj trikrat toliko kaznivih dejanj.
Vsi tisti, ki jim je bila povzročena škoda se najbrž sprašujejo ali bodo omenjeni kriminalci sedaj, ko imajo ogromno premoženje, povrnili vso povzročeno škodo.
Nekaj je dejstvo: M.M.S. in M.S. zagotovo ne bosta vrnila posiljeni, takrat 13 letnici, nazaj njenega normalnega življenja.
Križev pot nesrečne in uboge družine, ki jo je ves slovenski narod zaničeval, se je sedaj končno zaključil.
Njihovo trpljenje se je končalo in to je najpomembnejše.
Sedaj je pričakovati, da bo Republika Slovenija spoštovala evropsko zgleden zakon o Ciganih in MO Ljubljana postavila na seznam občin s ciganskim prebivalstvom, ki seveda zasluži svojega občinskega svetnika za reševanje bivanjske ter ostale ciganske problematike. |

| In mister za okolje in prostor se bo zapisal v zgodovino te države kot nekdo, ki je ves svoj mandat porabil za iskanje parcele Strojanom. Je naredil še kaj?! |
