Post 1: Blogging and Architecture


"Blah blah blah.. Architecture," said Mr. Runberg while instructing the class about blogging for the first time. No, really, that's what he said, "Blah blah blah.. One hundred words." Shockingly enough, his entire set of instruction ecompased blogging in its entirety. "Blah blah blah." - blogging is communication. People world-wide can express their views to anyone anywhere. In that communication, we find ways to indirectly and artisitically portray ourself. The words we don't say can reveal more than what we do say.
Architecture is a second way to artistically express both the means of the architect and the structure's purpose. Architecture is like a blog in itself; it helps us communicate. For example, if we saw a building in the shape of a boat, we can easily assume its contents include something relative to ships, not cheese or toothpaste or other various things. Both blogging and architecture revolve around not exactly what is said but how it is said. It is a matter of expressing our own form of creativity. So, Mr. Runberg, you may say "Blah blah blah" but I say "Blah BLAH blah."
