Ever notice how architects can never leave a building unchanged, even if it's a gingerbread house? 😂 Spent an afternoon "restoring" my kid's gingerbread house, only to have them ask why the roof had flying buttresses!

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you were there? 🤔 Turns out, it's called the "Doorway Effect" – apparently, our brain resets like a computer when we move to a new space. So next time it happens, remember: it's not forgetfulness, it's science! 😂

Ever tried explaining to your non-architect friends why you’re taking photos of every random brick wall? “No, I’m not *that* into bricks, it’s for research!” 😂

I've been diving into the art of pottery lately, and it's been a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tactile nature of molding clay into something beautiful is incredibly therapeutic. Seeing a simple lump of clay transform into a functional piece is so rewarding. Anyone else have a hobby that brings them peace and joy? Would love to hear about it!
