Of harm-tam-ming that crit

Grrrrr, originally uploaded by jonolist.

read the ang moh's blog and i thought i'll write it here too.

The one thing you bring into the crit is to believe that the three people sitting infront of you are now looking at the most fecking auwsurme design they have ever seen. EVAR

Think of each of your 6 panels as a pokemon. Crit is the only time you get to throw all 6 pokemons into the battlefield. Each has their own strength, some can last a long battle (floor plans esp) some are for special type battles against opposing elements (tech details, environmental strategy, urban interventions). Some architects/trainers believe that certain pokemons/panels need to hold special items to boost their attributes. Making your pokemon hold the 10+ killershot render often helps, the 5/5 balance concept diagram sketch is very handy when your stumbling along. Some trainers like to teach their pokemon Zietgeist, i think its pretty useless, a lvl 10 magikarp/handsketch render would pwn you. all in all strategise what you want to use and use it well. Not all crits are receptive to you mega floorplanning strategies so move along your other stuff too.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE "cute blinking eye 8+" on your tutors during your major battles, leave those for your working life where it really works.

For those of you doing the benchmark or riba review thing with a panel of a gazillion, think of it as your Pritzker prize presentation....the trophy (is there one?) is already being sent to your undergrad intern for polishing. Your just doing the courtesy award ceremony presentation all fecking auwsurme architects have to do.

Chun Li didn't not win because of her helicopter kick, nor did Sagat with his tiger upper cut (Tiiiggerrr)........you must know when to defend and block and when to just let lay down your yoga fire.......catch no ball? being fecking auwsurme does sometimes require you to humble yourself.

anyway
the hands have been cut, the thoughts have long been processed, your goose is fattened and the veges have been poached. So now is the time where your Roasted Loire Valley foie gras with braised carrots and almond foam layed on a gleaming white dish is done....all you have to do is send the motherload to the table and blow their minds.
