  It is not my intention to state my condition of being an archictectural
  student on this list, but something happened yesterday that is worth a
  small mention, for it somewhat finalizes the condition of the ability of
  the institution to incorporate changing ideas about what is.

  I went to the only individualized study program for a meeting with the
  director.  He listened to my proposal for study, that is, to include
  electricity as an element in architecture, and how it has effected the
  human condition via technology, experience, and perception.  I mentioned
  the ability to rationalize the connection between television, radio,
  computer networks, power stations, and architecture.  He was very nice
  and honest, stating that my writing skills and clarity were not well
  enough developed so as to clearly explain my position to the audience
  I choose (everybody).  I told him of my failures of finding anyone within
  the architecture department to work with in developing these ideas more
  clearly.  This, he said, was of major concern.  I told him that I have
  Nuclear Scientists, International Relations, Public Policy, Philosophy
  and Aesthetics, Computer Scientists, Historians, with whom I would like
  to participate, and yet I cannot continue without the Architect, since
  that is my chosen perspective.

  Unlikely that I would succeed in the program, he stated honestly and with
  some compassion.  Instead, he said, if school is becoming a negative
  impact you should drop out, get a job, and read and read in your spare
  time.  Well, I said, I have read and read, and I want to work on this.
  He was very wary of my abilities to perform under the excellence expected
  of those in the program, my needing a certain scholarship that I will
  never attain.  Instead he suggested, in my condition, to consider dropping
  out of school, get out of my parents quarters, if i have to, default on
  the 15g of loans, go on public assistance, and work some hours, and work
  on The Architecture of Electricity from there, reading, reading, and
  collecting more and more evidence.  My heart has not been present for a
  long time, but this one put a small jolt of electricity right down the
  the center.

  Ah, the real once again, no illusions in how barren it really has become.
  Working together and defining the future, it is the case that the stink
  always leaves first, the stench remains, and teaches.

  What I found puzzling was that all the messages posted to design-l
  recieved not a single comment.  The statements could be true/false, and
  some I put out there just so anyone could say so.  Nothing.  No response.

  The director of the highly aclaimed program said that I was no longer
  hitting my head against a brick wall, but thin air.  I agreed.  How
  perceptive, no one is my audience and i think everyone is.

  I just wanted to declare my position on my path with my architectural
  ideas, and I would appreciate any ideas as to anything regarding where
  I might be able to study this non-subject "architecture" outside of the
  commerical educational system.  I am supposed to be an expert, says he,
  but I don't want to be an expert, I want to be an architect.
