truer words ain't never been spoke



in an interview with yale daily news, denise scott brown said this when asked if she had any words of wisdom for aspiring architecture students:

"Architecture is a difficult career. You probably shouldn’t be an architect unless you absolutely have to because it’s a hard career, you will never earn very much, you’ll work long hours, it’s not up to you when you work, and it can be very heartbreaking when everything you want to do you find you can’t do."

this is a woman who in 1991, along with her husband robert venturi, won the highest honor an architect can win, the pritzker prize. if after all that, this is her perspective on the profession, we are defs all screwed.

She didn't actually win it with Bob. There was quite the controversy about it.
