Ever wondered what an Architect was saying? Then this is your chance to get your own back. This will make you sound like you know what you are saying around that profession.

It's not just architects - there's a few project managers I know speak just like that. Their idea of a critical pathway and mine are, somehow, not quite the same!

Indubitably the treatment of the main facade must utilize and be functionally interwoven with the philosophy of commonality and standardization.


I had to have another click, its like walking into the project mangers off ice just as his copy of 'Razzle' goes under the desk :D :D

Does my nut in when people talk like that or write in this style. Used to hate it when high school teachers idea of a good english paper was going nuts with the thesaurus.
KISS - keep it simple, stupid!

I quite like a rich vocabulary, but there has to be a meaning. Far too often, all this architect-speak, or even worse, management-speak, is completely meaningless, or just an overly convoluted way of saying summat simple in the hope that it will sound much cleverer than it actually is.

As we enter the season for new brochures and catalogues, let's see how much gobbledegook has found its way into this season's outputs..... :D

+1

all i hear is project management speak, and it doesn't mean anything!!

wtf does "square the circle", "moving forward (at least 20 times in the same "speech/employee engagement session)", "flexible end date" just to mention a few.

I don't know why your giving me an effing knowing look, you are the only one who knows what you're talking about. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
