but if you really
want some serious eyewear
or even a killer watch,
ask an architect.


always.


eg: mary of tgh architects
has the coolest tibor kalman watch.
"unexpected and untried"


1. 5 O'Clock
2. 10-One-4


our homework
is to ask an architect
and report back...


ps: i also have a thing
for tiny antique watches
with roman numerals.

Architects may have cool glasses but they almost always have bad shoes.

Mitzikat said...

No, ask an architecture student. :) Most architects I know have ridiculous style.. contrived and unoriginal.. and yes, mdillon, terrible shoes!

Cerré said...

indeed, terrible shoes.

cheers,

I wouldn't generalize, I am an architect and I think that some of us have good taste also when it comes to shoes :)

Your comment regarding architects, eyeglasses and watches reminds me of William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

A very cool blog, by the way.

hm.. i am an architect. however . i haven't got any watch.. and i like my shoes. and I think that the shoes of my friends and colleagues are great! maybe it's just me - as a fellow architect - who is thinking this way about them?

ha, ha, ha... I am also an architect and I dont use glases yet, and neither watch and dear all, I only use shoes because nobady would trust me if I use my weekend flip flops... maybe it´s because I am also a surfer???
