Marcus Fairs of Building Design wrote about an insidious force is stalking the built environment in an effort to undermine architects.
Its work is carried out in secret and its members are sworn to oaths of silence. Most people — even those whose careers have been scuppered by its activities — are unaware of its existence. Yet the Society for the Frustration of Architects is as ruthlessly effective as Opus Dei or Al Qaida.
SoFA’s mission is simple: to deny architects their rightful place in the country’s power hierarchy and eradicate their poisonous architecture from the land.

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
