EMINEM

"Love the Way You Lie"  (feat. Rihanna)

[Intro - Rihanna:]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

[Verse - Eminem:]
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off her love, drunk from her hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking hates me and I love it.
"Wait! Where you going?"
"I'm leaving you!"
"No you ain't. Come back."
We're running right back.
Here we go again
It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
Who's that dude?
"I don't even know his name."
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength…]

ARCHITECTONIC FIRM EXPERIENCE (EXPO)

CRITICAL THINKING

For discussion
1.-List some ways critical thinking impacts the work of an architect involved in a residential project and in a restaurant project.

·       Residential Project:

v Consult in the parameter usage of the soil the number of apartments the law allows.

v Check if is suitable to a familiar residential unit only for one build or a separate and individual housing project.

v Consider the number of parking space this build could have respect to the number of residents.

v Consider if it is high or low level residential to select the material samples suitable for investment.

v If it is a multifamily house project, consider the structural system and the number of levels to include lift.

v Indicate the system ducts and maintenance or emergency stairs.

v Research the type of rooms which should have an apartment or house.

·       Restaurant Project:

v Know the Star category in the restaurant to dimension the space for number of customers.

v Take in account accessibility for disabled people.

v Place emergency exits.

v Divide into zones according to the orientation and prevailing winds.

v Consider the number of parking space respect to the number of costumers.

v Investigate the areas that compose a kitchen.

v Place the number of bathroom furniture according to Regulation.

2. - Describe an interaction with a client and architect where critical thinking is necessary to avoid an argument with the client.

The architect must expose the specialties in his job. Then he has to get good communication with the client and talking in understanding words.
The architect should ask to the client all about his tastes and wishes and then translate it into design proposals. They must have regular meetings to discard or approve Ideas. The architect should use different tools to demonstrate the best of their designs.

3. - Explain a situation where you were reluctant to ask one or more questions to clarify an issue or statement you didn´t understand (or disagreed with). Was this person in authority such as a boss or professor? Would that have changed your reluctance at all?

When was in the Politecnico mobility two years ago, we had many doubts about why it was necessary to enter work stoppage to resolve the institutional problems. No wasn´t, the persons in authority where only strangers to my school. We don´t think that they could resolve my doubts, rather they were troublemakers.

4. – Architects are constantly forced to make choices in the products they specify for a client.
Locate information of two materials samples suitable for living room in a house. Decide which item you think will gave the best. Be preparing to discuss why you are choosing this item.

For a project in a town near the coast we think on a wooden floor texture in the living room.

We choose between a ceramic tile with the wooden texture and an authentic natural wood board. So we choose the natural wood board, because this is the easier to find in the zone, it adapts to the style of the place and at the same time it is a material that absorbs less temperature compared ceramics having to heat the rooms for its properties in hot areas.

5. – Try to re-create the decision you made that resulted in the purchased of an expensive item such as a television, computer, or a car. What was the process you used to come to the decision you made? Whom did you ask for help? What factors impacted your decision to buy the item you purchased?

-The process that we've taken to bought a smartphone, was considering the capacity of my last phone, and imagine all the profits that I could win with this new item, like the use of a camera to capture the blackboard task.

-We will ask the seller Store about this article, because he should be the expert. And then He'll tell us about the best for my tastes.

-Factors that could impact my purchase decision could be the cost and color.

Cases for discussion

1.     For the man dressed whit informal and dusty clothes the best thing would treat him like any other customer, letting him know that we are an architectural firm that doesn´t discriminate. Then we will verify what kind of budget he´s ready to invest or we will process to give him a parametrical cost.

2.     °What are the issues involved in this case?
-The client disagree the designs when all previous revisions were accepted.
-He has suddenly changed his opinion.
-The assistant is guilty because he didn´t know how to communicate the wishes of his boss.

°You are Brenda or Thomas what will you do to resolved this sudden turn of events?
-We would tried to calm the client and explain him that all previous proposals where accepted for his assistant and him so it isn´t our fault. But we could still modifying the things that didn´t like him.

°What information is mission to help you decide what to do?

-If the client is disposed to pay more for the changes in the design.

- Ask to work with major revisions for him part

3.     If you were one of the other people in the room, what would you do?
- I would tell Gloria to stop receive in the computer.
-I would tell Juan that Gloria was copying is homework.
