I farkin hate all forms of schedules.
Even this schedule of inaccurate presumptions?
^ I probably should know what the last image is…but I don’t.
And even then you don’t really have to design anything if you don’t want to. We (architectural visualisers) are constant filling in massive gaps in design. The amount of masterplans and buildings we’ve pulled 90% out of our arse for public wooing is shocking.
But we don’t gots the skillz. Just the pretty picture making abilities.
I’m imagining lots and lots of rendered grass landscaped areas?
A load of toilets?
close. The collective noun for toilets is ‘a shit load’
^^ Ah right, thanks. Can’t say I’ve ever selected a toilet in my relatively short architectural career, but I guess my time will come.
mostly glass building-ish shapes with some loose structure going on there. Native grasses are popular. Lakes are always pretty. Gereral ambiguity reigns supreme.
skip both Architecture and Engineering and do Industrial Design.
Whatever product you design to fill whatever insignificant market niche does not even have to work and you will still cop praise. or hate. depending on which side of the fence you sit on. Plus you get to harrass both engineers and architects with stupid ideas that will probably never work wasting their time.**
**the pay is shit.
And you can be the first* to design a spokeless wheel concept…

Surprisingly hard. When the dunny selection for the Hamer Hall reno came up we had a “shit load of toilets” parked in our boardroom, which were then sat on by a series of big wigs (arts minister included) to decide the perfect dunny.
When I studied industrial design we did a project on toilets. We went on a tour of the Caroma toilet factory in Sydney for research. It was an eye opener.
Really? I do it cause I like doing fucking door schedules…
I’m more of a window schedule man.
Doubt it. Average wage for engineers is higher then architects or industrial designers, checkout Salary Information - Latest Pay Rates by Industry at MyCareer

I’ve always wondered how they test toilet designs.
IIR My course convenor had worked with toilets before and he said they have these standard turd units of a certain size and weight that they use to test the flush.
The interesting thing was that he said the Australian standard turds that they used were a good healthy log type object, whereas the Americans use ones that were like little pellets.
I dare say that our ‘standard’ turd would be heading towards the pellety direction given the current health epidemic in this country.
Thanks mate. I’m taking that to my boss.
Interesting… also looks like there is a fair bit of mathematics involved in ensuring urinals evacuate the product without any splash back quite efficiently
