I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?
like whatever..

I'm not back, sporadic, just checking in. Cool downtown cafe tonight is packed to the roof for open-mic night which was horribly bad when I came in but kinda sweet now. Saw a big band jazz performance at schoo tonight - everyone was swinging.
Young minds, how do I open them without making them cynical or scattered? It's really fun so far. Challenging, in a way that feels really good and like I haven't felt for a long time. Keep this in mind: sometimes the key to getting really exicting work is to severly limit the amount of time allowed to produce it.
Night all.

One of the GSA students referred to me as "that Donna lady" to another instructor - you may all start calling me that now.
Steven and I are exhausted but speaking for myself I'm feeling very invigorated by the students. It's really fun. Gotta go look for some images of unfolded boxes. Later kids.

nevermore and vindpust rule.
i think nevermore is going to help vindpust further develope his idea. and, vindpust is going to realize that he has to get to work rather than yakidayak all the time. in turn, i think vindpust is going to build a nice boat for nevermore who will not accept the boat but ask for cash money instead, causing a disagreement between the two parties. this is also the time when i come in. the parties will meet half way on the map, under the wisdom of islamic know-how for conflict resolution. session will take a place inside 700 years old building in istanbul. in that meeting, my judgement will be final and either party is going to reimburse my expenses + the one time justice fee which will be around 15% of the agreed boat or cash prize...
also will be discussed in that meeting, the inclusion of a 3D-H system in one of nevermore's new cities free of royalty fees if he chooses to do so.
i am really excited...

different story;
today plans were approved by city of lakewood and the remodeling project is permitted for construction. some might remember this project where i had to challenge the planning dept for roof designs and shared my experience here.
it is my first project where i stamped the drawings as a registered architect. i am the draftsman too. double happiness. floor plan
it is a mainly open it up job w/ two 12' fleetwood sliders and clear lexan sheet enclosed decks on either ends flush with interior level.
the owners are baseball coach for local hi school and she is a retired delta stewardess, no kids.

Orhan, why not put the door to the laundry room off the corridor to the bedrooms, opposite the door to bathroom #2. Why carry the laundry through the living room?
Orhan Ayyüce
Jun 22, 06 7:29 pm
thanks superimpose. thats the way its gonna be. actually this morning on the way to plan checker it was down on me to do something like that. but my idea was to put an additional door to the bedroom hallway by moving the machines to the side. that way somebody discreetly arrive and leave the bedrooms. but definatly change the door as you suggested. laundry room adj. to bedrooms where the laundry originates and returns to. i should also do the laundry door on the entry side a flush installation. ja ja ja... thanks stephen, mucho.

Orhan, cool model!
One thing from me: is the area at the rear of the house a backyard? If so, why not switch the mbath and closet to be able to put more windows into the mbath? seems a shame to have a long dark bathroom.
myriam
Jun 22, 06 8:03 pm
or reconfigure, i guess... i'm a huge fan of built-in closets within the mbath area, thus fewer doors into the bedroom... but that's not always fea$ible. ok, i'll pipe down now. btw your portfolio is inspiring.

thanks myriam and jump.
myriam, i do have a window and skylight in the long bathroom and it keeps going back and forth w/ switching the clo and bath. it might happen that way. i've done a long and narrow bath before and satisfied with the result.
the yard is really exposed to leftside neighbor where privacy was sought by doing that long and narrow layout. now we have a smaller but more courtyard like backyard that deals with very site specific issues like the individual neighbors and placement of their buildings.
aahh . i love the process from this point on. adjusting all the bolts and always improving the ropes...
thanks again those points are definetly improvements and points to go over during framing and rough in time.
all in all, this is a typical example of whats being done to tract houses in los angeles. this type of arrengements are slowly making their permenant way into vernacular, like the loft types made it in new york housing. most small remodeling projects in so cal are variations of this plan and context and program. we are not talking hi end designs but working people being open to knocking the walls down and opting for open plan if they are introduced to them. they are also very aware of ikea kitchens with aluminum frames and colored glass.
my life with the tract housing. a 1500 sq. ft. home and people are happy with that. i think it is good and it is not all gated communities taking over the country. long live the tract housing remodels and smaller homes.

I have spent a good part of my morning entertaining some of our interns. In fact I told one of them about this site and he is trying to figure out what my screen name is. Er, I guess I just made it easier for him. Meanwhile I am trying to come up with nicknames for them. Interns are so much fun!
Furthermore, I believe tomorrow I will be purchasing a Mac. Screw PCs.
