Motherfucker . . .

that's pretty dope if you climb

That makes me go 'eeeep!'

if you're going to be thinking, think big

I've actually seen something like this made out of heavy timber. It was for a engineering building on University of Minnesota Duluth. It was a reverse butterfly roof so everything drained into the center 'gutter' which extended 20 feet beyond the building into a below grade retention pool. The heavy timber gutter was so big because it was a structural member, it was conveying a large amount of water, and so that it couldn't freeze solid. Even if it did get ice the water would simply flow over it.  

Carol Ross Barney, I believe.

I believe you're correct. I really liked that particular building.

I know, right? Wanker could not even spec black-painted bolts.

The hold back to the builder is still being held until all deficiencies are completed!..... net included!

The hold back is not to cover deficiencies. Tsk tsk, but I am sure you know this.

Did you specify "blackened" steel? That's very trendy these days. I just spec everything that way hoping someone can figure out how to do it for cheap.

Blackened steel on the fireplace inside, used chemicals and a

a sealing product once it had the right appearance

What process did you use whistler? I've never used blackened metal before but my limited understanding is that it uses a heated chemical process to produce the dark oxide. That oxide is rather fragile and requires sealant and reapplication of the chemicals to maintain the look. Is that accurate?

It's not science I can tell you that it was more experimental. I used the same process on a previous house ( similar to what you noted ) but didn't get it as dark and so I tried a few different variations on sample pieces. and yes you have to seal it. It won't seal that well and stay stable if it stays outside but inside it can be sealed and remains very stable. Sorry, I can't remember the chemical that I used but there is a bunch of products you could consider using on line.

Paint looks just as nice to a large portion of the public.

It looks great on the other thread, something about this crop makes it look like it’s 3’ above the ground, like for a toddler!

Can you photoshop out the smoke detector? I once did that with an exit sign, why are they still only RED in the US?

They aren't.

I'm licensed in mainly Red states and a few gray ones, in which the local municipalities require Red...I like the Green.

But why? I like seeing well-placed devices and if I can help it (they got done correctly, for example) I leave them in photos of my own work. Ceiling coordination is a pain but incredibly important work.

Seriously, one reason I had when switching over to landscape was that I don’t

like doing ceilings.

I want my EXIT signs the color of FREEDOM! Not some commie colors.

We don't need no gud durn exit signs. Gubmt telling me what to do with myseld in an emergency.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the IRC section 310 assumes you're jumping out the window, so I figured, hell why not make that work in taller builders like 20 story multi-family (technically under IBC)....working on window specs now - clearly for a single-family home. What I find interesting in flood zones where the 1st floor is 10-12 feet above grade you can still jump out the window from the 2nd floor for egress, which at this point is really the 3rd floor....

Is the first image the basis for your name? at least that's what I saw immediately.

That's an interesting observation, but no, that's only a coincidence. :)

Rather cool coincidence though. ;)

I love this project so much

As well am I.

like

That's rather awe inspiring.

Any photos of the last one after it was built?

It’s the proposed design for the Abrahamic Family House by Adjaye Associates. It’s completion date isn’t until 2022, but I thought I’d include it anyways.

I'm very interested, it looks very sensuous.

The Lotus Temple is very inspiring if you like religious architecture, and has the most visitors of any building in the world

I want the 3D file of this drawing please

In my head I somehow always pronounce Luis Barragan's name to the melody of Feliz Navidad—don't ask me why—and now the rest of you will too!

that's cool and I like it, but Donna may think that's racist ;)

Can't unhear that!

All those circles in a row, everywhere, maybe some secret morse code for ‘thedesigner ran out of ideas’

I see a 2:1 and maybe a 7:1?

...

that's cool, did not know that

That's some escutcheon you've got there on the right.

Alvar Aalto

Steven Holl, St Ignatius Chapel

Steven Holl, Herning Museum of Contemporary Art

Peter Zumthor, Kolumba museum

came across this on the google search, not sure if it's an Aalto door, but it's an awesome door for sauna regardless of author

which one ;)

They didn't even kern it

you're a clown like boris alexander johnson or the architectural association, a rich kid.
