She's brilliant. I love her snarky "analysis" of architecture so very very much. Until I took a "summer job" in the tech industry (and got distracted for 30 years), I was well on my way to becoming a residential architect. Even worked for some world-renowned architectural firms and individuals, who did award-winning projects. She makes a couple of excellent points about the designs she pokes fun at: 1. It seems most of the designs clearly started somewhere reasonable... and then the homeowner got involved. 2. There is both a functional and aesthetic purpose served by architecture, and often she is poking the most fun at the things done purely for an illogical aesthetic need, that serves no function. 3. Humans are funny animals, and when we express our basal impulses in architecture, it rarely works out in a visually pleasing way. Like big huge great rooms that nobody ever spends any time in. Why? Because they are too cold in the winter (hint: heat rises!), too hot in the summer (big sunny windows), and too loud and echoey. Some of her best points are where two bad ideas intersect: Ridiculous roof lines that serve no purpose other than to employ roofers for hours trying to make them waterproof. Or disasters where the ornamentation in two different rooms intersects at a wall, and the poor builder has to figure out how the two styles need to transition from one to the other... I can just see the guys standing there with a chop saw and 100 feet of ornate trim and picture moulding, and trying to figure out how these two things are supposed to join together... Yeah. People buy these places. They place a value on costly, value-less features, because it is a signaling thing.... look how fancy I am! I spent probably an hour yesterday, going back through her old posts, and trying to keep from snorting coffee out my nose every time there was another "pringles can" or conflicting roofline "nubs". Love her. Can't get enough. She helps us remember not to take ourselves too seriously, because that never works out.
