 Breaking: OMG Is in the Details Friday, August 4, 2006
Hi,Now, we're not journalists—never have been, never will be—but doesn't querying the Gutter (the idle summer Gutter, no less) strike one as a little, er... Land Ho! Reader Comments (61 extant) 1. the architectural community is (or at least should be) excited about the 'new' church by Corbu, being completed in Firminy, France. An almost unbuilt project being realized. Let us hope that some of Kahn's unbuilt work still gets built. By tom Zabriskie at August 4, 2006 12:01 PM2. Details? Architecture? WTF? By Anonymous at August 4, 2006 12:14 PM3. Maybe their non-deserved association with the magazine Detail has finally gotten them to realize there's an audience for this stuff. By dryerase at August 4, 2006 12:24 PM4. Tell the writer to do his own research. It's not that hard. By architecture drop-out at August 4, 2006 1:33 PM5. riters are dumb. By clive owings at August 4, 2006 3:43 PM6. I'd tip him off to something deafeningly below-average and obvious by Richard Meier or perhaps Toshiko Mori, if you can find something she has built. Schnabel's Gramercy Park Hotel looks childishly awful, by all accounts, which would make it perfect for Details. By anonymous at August 4, 2006 4:00 PM7. ooooh, are you a top this summer or the usual? By The Clutter at August 4, 2006 5:56 PM8. if one is to judge this site by the intelligence of your readers, then it truly does suck as much as they say. what a bunch of assclowns. looking forward to the return of gutting in the fall. By the butter at August 6, 2006 10:47 AM9. blown-out assholes By hemroids at August 6, 2006 1:20 PM10. look what i can do 11. Miss you! Hope you're enjoying your leisure. By Peter Eisenman at August 7, 2006 12:37 PM12. i like raisins By unoriginal at August 7, 2006 2:19 PM13. "architecture community"? WTF? By ggggggggggggggh at August 7, 2006 4:11 PM14. I don't know about you guys, but I really really can't wait to see the Freedom Tower be completed. I mean, seriously, what better way to show how those terrorist SOB's can't hold us down!??!?!? Like Puffy said "Can't stop, won't stop" - I can't stop thinking about how AWESOME the freedom tower will look. Heh. Tell them to put that in their fratastic, shiney shoes, ducati, vertical striped shirts, hair product, how to rape a woman legally magazine. By John Prolly at August 9, 2006 11:35 AM15. don't go chasing waterfalls 16. i think the Longchamps space on Spring street is pretty nice - but i don't get out much. By norma thunderstorm at August 11, 2006 9:16 AM17. so ronereeeee... By kim jong ill at August 11, 2006 10:57 AM18. hawnsss bwiixxxxxxxx? HAWWNSSS BWIIXXXXXXX By kim jong ill at August 11, 2006 12:19 PM19. yo i just farted ill style son By mr yayo at August 11, 2006 1:13 PM20. i want to shit on a dudes chest By damn at August 11, 2006 1:16 PM21. snortin that yayo kid! By hit at August 12, 2006 10:40 PM22. that rag is not worthy of writing about real architecture. By rivet at August 13, 2006 12:01 AM23. i'd like to urinate in or near the corpse flower at brooklyn botanical garden. By pisser at August 13, 2006 2:29 PM24. I love it when everything just mildews out to shit and piss talk, it brings me childlike joy. Especially with the grouchy 'real architecture' folks weighing in, this is more fun than actual gutter posts anyway. I say real architecture isn't worthy of chest shitting. By leather cheerio at August 16, 2006 12:42 AM25. the fact is that the world could get rid of architects, real architect, leave it all to engineers, and people will still keep on living and would still be happy. love it. By toaster at August 16, 2006 9:39 AM26. What makes you say that toaster? People love living in joyless gray boxes? Wanna see a world without architects? Try east germany, circa 1970s. By t at August 16, 2006 11:04 AM27. fuh duh buildings dawh, we just need to keep snortin that yayo By mr. yayo at August 16, 2006 1:21 PM28. yayo. agreed. By toaster at August 16, 2006 1:55 PM29. Toaster, someone should shit on your chest for making a short sighted remark like that. Have you ever hung out with any engineers? Boring. Terrible, maybe only good when snorting yayo. If that. By leather cheerio at August 16, 2006 6:57 PM30. toaster = poop. By unoriginal at August 16, 2006 8:18 PM31. how sad, truly, that so few people, especially wordsmith urbanites, can appreciate and much less write about good architecture. By rivet at August 17, 2006 1:41 AM32. if you want quality writing about architecture, this is the wrong place to come rivet. this is a joke house so come here with a playful carefree attitude of non-seriousness. the only good writing about architecture comes from PApress. all the rest is just ineffective wordy emptyness. By toaster at August 17, 2006 8:29 AM33. toaster; isn't that just a small appliance that generates only enough heat to turn bread brown? By microwave at August 17, 2006 3:55 PM34. i just really like toasted bagels. what toasts my delicious bagels in the morning? a toaster!! that's about as far as the thought process went for my name. i'm quite giddy about it still. By toaster at August 18, 2006 8:52 AM35. sell that toaster and just give the money to the RNC By unoriginal at August 18, 2006 12:26 PM36. ken mehlman baby! By toaster at August 18, 2006 12:29 PM37. oh, microwave, when was the last time you browned bread? i hate architects. By broiler at August 18, 2006 5:09 PM38. why do you hate architects? probably for the same reason i do! By toaster at August 18, 2006 5:49 PM39. I like architects. By the fires of hell at August 18, 2006 5:55 PM40. can i get gutter on that toast? By Anonymous at August 19, 2006 10:45 AM41. ohh toaster, oh broiler, why dont you two sit on my middle finger and start spinning....

By Anonymous at August 21, 2006 10:27 AM43. well philip, for us to do that, could at least clean it from milking mies' prostate? By toaster at August 21, 2006 11:05 AM44. c'est ne pas un website By Anonymous at August 21, 2006 2:20 PM45. readers of Archinect will know that you meant to say: "ce n'est pas un site Web."

Just when we were getting used to our August semi-slumber, we were compelled to sail back into wifi range, set the old Hitachi on the starboard toerail, unfurl the mizzen spanker, open all the seacocks, and dial up the ComLink protocols to GutterSat 1. And what did we find, oh our still so very very deeply Dearest Best Beloveds? Behold, ye mighty, the fruits of our inbox, and WTF?
