I thought that this Ted Talk seemed like the most dry humored Ted Talk I’ve watched yet. The Texan native, Dan Phillips, discussed the detail that goes into designing and building houses–something I don’t find too exciting but older Texans are in love with. He would mock and parody his own work by making comparisons between the architecture and appliances and objects or human acts. He either builded upon the narrative of a room, object, or group of objects or he deconstructed the narrative to make his own. Then it was a bit interesting when he began to talk about how culture shapes how we assign different things narrative based on culture or perspective. Then I got a bit bored again as he went through  the factors of being a good architect, but I really liked how he tied the rest of his speech to human interaction and says that everything has a narrative or a backstory.
