Things to keep in mind

When I think of the last two and a half years, the career opportunity costs and the tuition - take it like Peter, who has not given up on architecture because of Architecture School. As he says, "I'm ready to work. I want to work somewhere I can learn because I feel like I didn't learn anything in school." Also, I don't feel so bad for being so disappointed with this education if one of the best students feels the same way.

Material: Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG)

Glass-reinforced gypsum technology produces thin, lightweight, high-strength pieces for architectural applications. There are plaster compounds to meet the demands of a wide range of hand lay-up and spray applications. from Georgia-Pacific's site.
This seems super cool and versatile but I couldn't find many examples of it put to use in an amazing way. Except maybe this, but it's coolness stems from it being an old form created with a different material. I'd want to see some LOTR shit combined with alien stuff, whatever that looks like.
