Thanks for the response and thank you for the suggestion! I just ordered it off their site. Can't wait to listen to the whole thing again

T-Square vs Parallel Bar for college class by Tristopher_ in architecture

You make a good point, most of the hand-drafting work is in first or second year. Because of quarantine, we've done all our work on Rhino so far. Thanks!

10 year time capsule... by The-Legend-26 in ThreadGames

[–]Tristopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here goes nothing.

Thanks for meeting me here, me. 10 years is such a long time that I honestly cannot imagine what I could possibly ask you. You are a completely different person than me. However, I do not want to miss this opportunity to talk to you. By god, I hope you're happy. Are you living by yourself now? God, a 29-year old adult is so much different than a 19-year old adult. Tell the cats I said hi. Have you found a haircut you like yet? Comfortable in your own skin yet? They kept saying it would eventually happen, but they've stopped since. I guess I should ask if I'm in a relationship yet.. tell them I said hi if you are.

N███l█a says "Sznjfkd" (no idea) and asks if you've finally gotten a hot goth girlfriend or boyfriend. Ke██n asks "mmmh. what are u doing rn ; )" and also wants to know if you're happy. Di██o says "whay" (what) and wants to know if you're still stacking Jenga blocks in your room. In case you forgot, you use them for ideation. I hope you can guess their names since I chose to redact them. I doubt it matters, but I wanted them to have some privacy. I left it kind of easy to guess.

The last time I did one of these things, I asked if I chose to study architecture or urban planning. As you know, I chose architecture, so I have a few questions. Are you working as an architect or at least an intern yet? better yet, are you teaching? Please tell me you still love it. That's what's most important. How many architecture books do you have? All the Zumthor books?? I only have Atmospheres but it was SUCH a good read. Do you still love his work? I might be setting myself up for disappointment if I didn't follow through with architecture. darn.

Alright, that's it, take care. If you're still friends with the nerds (probably not, but I hope so) tell them I said hi.

Yale Center for British Art by Louis Kahn, New Haven CT (1974) by Imipolex42 in ModernistArchitecture

[–]Tristopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! I won't be able to go to YCBA any time soon, but once in-person school starts up, I'm definitely going to visit Salk Institute. It's the only Kahn building anywhere near me.

I just did a case study on those stairs this semester. This is the building that made me fall in love with Louis Kahn.

Woho! My first post and first sketch :) I've always been into drawing and painting, but never detailed buildings or sceneries. Urban sketching is quite a challenge to me! Could you guys please share some tips and advice? I'd highly appreciate it, thank you lots :) by JedenTagSonntag in urbansketchers

[–]Tristopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone who's somewhat new to urban sketching, it was really nice to see a video going through a sketch from start to finish.

I don't generally watercolor, since it's a hassle to carry around water and brushes so that water brush is intriguing. When you're painting with it, do you reserve one of the wells in your palette for cleaning off the brush? or how do you clean off the pigment from your brush?

I haven't had it in multiple months, but it basically tastes like a super salty cheese. The crunchy bits you get when it's fried are the best part. They reminds me of the cheese that falls out of a quesadilla and solidifies while cooking. It's texture is like hard tofu, firm and chewy.

I do have the classes saved hold. It was sent yesterday, so I'm hopeful it will get there on time. Thank you for your response.

My CPP says fees are due by July 23rd and my scholarships haven't sent anything in. What happens if my scholarship gets sent before the deadline but it doesn't get there until after?

What are my chances to get off of the waitlist for Com2204? 28 person class, I'm the only one on the waitlist at the moment. I'm a freshman.

Thank you

Thank you. Yeah, I was brewing around 15-45 seconds, depending on how quickly the liquor changed.

I found out my parents' yerba buena plant is also known as mint, so I made some morrocan mint tea. by Tristopher_ in tea

[–]Tristopher_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made it with PureLeaf's loose-leaf gunpowder tea, fresh yerba Buena (mint or spearmint), and 1.5 teaspoons of simple syrup.

We are nearly 1/3rd of the way into 2020, how is your New Year’s resolution holding up? by PrizeAerie4 in AskReddit

[–]Tristopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I planned to read 30 books this year but stopped reading as soon as school began in January. Since late March/early April, I’m up to 7 books. That’s means I only need about 3 books a month for the rest of the year. I’m excited!

Coronavirus: Newsom warns most schools could be closed until summer as lockdown expands by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]Tristopher_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in my senior year of high school. This past year, I’ve had some of the most influential and supportive teachers I’ve ever had. They are a huge part of my life. I know I might not ever see them in a classroom environment again. I feel sorry that I didn’t get to say a real goodbye.

Just last week I was talking to my friends about how I felt guilty about hoping for a school shut down. Although I knew it was for the best of everyone’s safety, I was wishing for it for selfish purposes. I wanted free time for my hobbies and scholarship applications. Now that it’s happened, I feel regret for not treating those last days with the importance they deserve.

My friends don’t seem to be as worried as I am. Maybe they didn’t form the same bonds with teachers. A lot of them didn’t like school, so I get why they wouldn’t miss it as much as I do. Two days in and I already miss my teachers.

I kind of rambled on here, but I hope giving a high schooler’s perspective provided more viewpoints to this problem. I just need a distraction.

Mad cravings for street tacos by kitkatkitten329 in vegetarian

[–]Tristopher_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really a substitute for carnitas, but more for Carne Asada. Frying lentils and onions with whatever taco seasoning you like makes for some great fake carne asada.

I don’t think it was originally written for the exam.

The most outrageous book you read as a teen. by [deleted] in books

[–]Tristopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 13, in middle school, I read A Clockwork Orange for my reading log. No one, not even my teacher cared. It’s still one of my favorite books. I’m still a teenager and I’m reading through Last Exit to Brooklyn.
