Very well, Brian, we seem to be talking to our converted
selves, but where is everyone else?

Haven't heard from my teacher Mr. Quie in years, probably he is
way ahead of us, me at least, in other teaching/learning
ventures.

FWIW, ahem, we opened Urban Deadline in 1968, and still going
unaccreditally strong, incredibly kidding ourselves along.
BTW, the kidding seems quite fruitful in garnering students and
teachers and associates escaping the grim professional
competition which drives them away, drives clients away too.
Eh, David Mr. Sucher?
Please take note of the heavy-handed sobriety propounded by
those trapped in accredited schools suffering from too much
upstanding professional collusion by the AIA, NCARB and
accrediting boards. Their sober product is not as good as
their insober ads. So our new associates tell us at Urban
Deadline, but everyone knows that, drinks to that. Eh, Lebbeus
Mr. Woods?
Brian, it looks like you should be opening your unaccredited
too. Please do. Please do everyone.
We need a lot more alternatives to both schools and the
profession, all professions and all schools and schools of
thought and behavior and art and design and language and media
and dream-machines of infrastructural
architecture-engineering-science-art-the-kaboodle.
Wow, was I impressed with Mark Joyce's description of his work
in art and architecture and education. Made me feel humble,
just for a brief sober moment.
