production or destruction of school property?
Should there be a penalty or fine for the destruction of our buildings amenities? As students we are given a building to aid us in the production and advancement of our projects and careers. When disrespect is shown to our given amenities, to what level should one be responsible? Should these amenities be viewed, rather as peices that aid in our production and only exist for our use and abuse?
Does our irresponsibility show disrespect to our janitorial staff?

That is a good question, but I think it depends on what amenities we are talking about. For example, the desk that you have shown I believe is a piece that aids us in our production, and it will get abused a little bit from the exacto blades and hot glue gun, and that's alright. I think it would be irresponsible of us if we were just carving into it for no particular reason, in which, yes there should be a penalty of some sort. I think it all comes down to the amenity you are talking about. We just need to keep in mind that these things aren't just ours, but there are also for the upcoming architecture students in the future, and we should try to preserve them the best we can.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a question of how civil the students are. For sure there should be a fine for somebody painting graffiti on the wall in Hale Hall or destroying desks on purpose (as an act of vandalism). At the same time we have to distinguish between destruction of the property on purpose and accidental/ unintended damage. I think there can be a reasonable solution for the problem with blade cuts on desk tops, such as covering them permanently with additional layer of cutting mat surface.
ReplyDeleteI would also add to the list of activities related closely to vandalism spraying lacquer within the building, which is - in opinion - absolutely disrespectful of other people, who have no other choice, but inhale the fumes.
