Architects and Prostitutes... :P

I read this bit of info on a blog  and it just had to catch my attention. Come to think about it , I realised that this is the second time I have seen "architects" and "prostitutes" sharing the blogspace ( if I can say that)... The first one I read was titled, 'Why Architects Drink' and started off with the sentence " the only people who look up at ceilings are architects and prostitutes"... hmmmm!! Excuse Moi!! There are several non- architects and non-  prostitutes who also look at ceilings...Errr when you walk into a space that appeals to you, looking around including the ceiling is obvious isn;t it.. you want to perceive the space around you.. Even boredom makes you take at least one glance at the ceiling. Its all about how inquisitive you are.

Coming back to the info I wanted to actually tell you about, I just put it down as it is !! I would definitely want to know what the architecture fraternity has to say about it.. and the non architecture community as well!!   

Whenever you see the word “Client” in something to do with building, you know there just has to be an architect involved because no one else in the building game ever refers to anyone as “clients.” It is such a strange word, isn’t it? In a shop you are a customer, on a train you are a passenger, in a hospital you are a patient, in a class you are a student, in the economy at large you’d be a consumer. But client? The only people who have clients are lawyers, architects and prostitutes, all of whom have to live with the reputation that they are simply out to screw you. Only the prostitute is honest about it.”

 Pen down your thoughts !!

Cheers!
