“The primary design driver that has made the period of ya-ya so damaging to the profession of architecture is that the architectural one-liner was back and in a big way.”

This sentence was not an attack on ya-ya or the one-liner. The statement was meant to suggest that students are focusing on developing one-liners rather than focusing in on the process of architecture. The above sentence has been revised with the added statement of clarification:

“This is damaging, because young students studying architecture in universities focus on developing clever solutions to architectural problems rather than learning a critical design process that they can use and develop as they grow as an architect.”
