Young Architect Toy…


So i came across this whilst searching around Amazon

The stereotypical child architect...? well he does look like a wanker i guess.

The young architect by …‘Poof-Slinky’ (no….really…)

Build your own 3-D architectural models – just like real architects do!

  • Reusable design and building set
  • Create 3-D models in three easy steps
  • Design floor plans with room templates
  • Furnish rooms with the furniture guide and colored pencils
  • Build a 3-D model on top of the floor plan
  • 9 room templates

Why isn't this child wearing all black?

Learn to envision different uses of space, proportion and architectural design to create your own unique dream house.

“I bought this for my 14 year old son and was very disappointed…. A pad of graph paper, plastic templates that are available at office supply stores, a good metal ruler, some paper and tape are a better investment than this. ”

“I agree …this item disappointing. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. (…) all you get is few pieces of acrylic, tracing paper, a few peel and stick windows and four colored pencils. The “manual” is a 4-page booklet with little useful information in it. The people selling this should be ashamed of foisting it on gullible consumers (like me). Borders on being a scam. ”

All for the low, low price of US$55

I have come up with a cheaper solution, rather than spending a lot of money on your child (they certainly wont have money if they do make it to be an architect after all!) why not give them the real experience?

Simply keep your child awake for 40 hours straight, get them addicted to red bull and have them design a fully drafted and documented 4 bedroon, 2 bathroom, living, dining and kitched 6 star enegy rating house that complies with building codes and regulations and uses solely recycled materials – by tomorrow.

    Kedves Xénia!“Nem, nem a semmiből áll elő. A sátán felhasznál mindent és mindenkit, aki hozzá tartozik. Az teljesen egyértelmű, hogy ezek az emberek agymosottak, és ez nem Amerikának köszönhető (legfeljebb kihasználja, felhasználja a céljainak megfelelően), hanem sokkal mélyebb gyökerű.”Az rendben is lenne, de azért valakik, valahol “agymosták”, kiképezték, és felszerelték őket….! Itt nem csak egy gonosz “csőcselék” összeverődéséről van szó, akik mindannyian tesznek amit akarnak, hanem egy jól megszervezett, hierarchikus rendről. ( Ahogyan az a hierarchia , amely a mennyben volt, Sátánnál is megmaradt! És eddig minden földi “szervezet”, hatalom, amely eddig hatékony volt, az mind úgy is épül, és épült fel…! ) Mert, ha pl Afrikában szétnézünk a “lázadók” között, akkor ott többnyire csak ilyen összeverődött bandákat láthatunk, akik “csak” lopnak, ölnek, gyilkolnak, fosztogatnak, csonkítanak,….,azután továbbállnak. De nem tudnak egyik napról a másikra létrehozni egy államot, bürokráciával, és a többi velejárójával együtt…! ( Azt meg ugye tudjuk, hogy Kádár idejében, még Magyarországon is képeztek ki “terroristákat”, annak fejében, hogy itt ne legyenek ilyen akciók!)

    and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
