If I could be anything at all in the world, it would be an architect. An engineer I know says, "Architects are assholes."

Perhaps. Architects and engineers are both needed, I'm sure....especially nowadays.
I'm wondering, however, how an engineer would perceive
Antoni Gaudi, the famed architect of Barcelona, which is so wonderfully revealed in "Vicky Christina Barcelona," my one of my favorite Woody Allen movies so far. Hmm...lots of people think Woody Allen is an asshole, too. There seem to be many assholes, eh?
