Humans have Always been So Weird

A place to store all my self-made study materials for the 2 architectural history courses I'm taking this semester. Mostly recordings of me reading the textbooks with mispronounced words and occasional commentary. Check out my art @looney-mooney-studio

Welcome to Architecture History with Ms Mooney!

Since I am Addicted to Tumblr, I figured I might as well do something useful with it. So I'm going to be storing all my Architecture History Study Materials here from now on, and you can all suffer through a grueling 20 credit hours in one semester along with me! Main texts are World Architecture by Richard Ingersoll and Modern Architecture since 1900 by William J. R. Curtis. And nobody can sue me for this because I'm reading these texts out loud with added commentary, making it a Transformative Work. Fellow students and casual observers alike may submit various other study materials within the field of Architecture History, ask for more materials, or simply make comments about the materials presented. Let's have fun and learn new things about the world around us! And hopefully not die from this insane workload I've given myself!!!
