srdes7 | architecture_train | 0.74 | Why do architects put bathrooms inside bedrooms? There is a trend, especially in houses that are let out as Airbnbs, to put bathrooms inside bedrooms with no walls or doors in between. I really dislike this because: - taking a shower right next to the bed makes the bedroom damp - I do not wish to lie in bed and watch my partner on the loo - toilets smells in the bedroom are not great I’ve spoken to many friends about this and no one understands why you would want this. So I’m hoping someone in this community can enlighten me. Why do some people want the batroom and the bedroom to be a single room? What’s the attraction? | hwsm9e5 | hwslp11 | 1,644,770,532 | 1,644,770,302 | 6 | 5 | Honestly if it were up to architects, I think we would all build water closets for toilets. | A sane architect won't put a bathroom in a bedroom unless their client insists on it. And I can tell you one reason that Airbnbs and houses repurposed to be shared would do this: The client is cheap and doesn't want to pay for the walls and door hardware. Or the space was too small to cram a bathroom with walls in it to begin with. I hope that this helps! | 1 | 230 | 1.2 | ||

TL;DR: building stuff is bad, "green" architects just make it less bad. | Architecture deals with the built environment, which has a lot of direct and indirect effects on the bigger picture environment, which can be construed as the physical as well as emotional or spiritual environment. Architecture is a thing you deal with most of every day, without even realizing it. Unless you're living in a cave somewhere off the beaten path, you interact with Architecture constantly. So being designers, we look for problems and try to solve them. I practice in a geographic region with more fresh water than we know what to do with, so conservation isn't really on the radar as a "big picture" issue, but for green points or whatever we still look to use it efficiently. Better Architecture isn't likely to be the ultimate answer for how to solve any given problem, but it's certainly a contributing factor in any number of scenarios. It's even a cause of a lot of problems... | 0 | 683 | 1.75 | ||

Architects are hired and have to do the clients bidding. They don't decide where or what gets built, they partially decide how but that's it. In some ways it can solve problems. For example in urban development/layout (which is also done by architects) , the built enviroment has influence over people, society and behaviour in that enviroment. | If you *really* want to understand why architects and designers speak to problems outside of their "natural" purview, it would help to start with the most good-faith interpretation of intent. Most of what you're mentioning isn't about how architecture (or, more broadly, design) is a catch-all solution to a problem. It's usually more of a critical assessment of the profession's social responsibilities and what we can actively do to *help* solve larger problems. And the educational regimen of architecture (as opposed to the profession) is increasingly invested in the sussing out of that social responsibility. Design is a multi-faceted practice that requires cross-disciplinary thought and the ability to work with others, so it seems natural to me that people who study design would seek out opportunities to work on complicated problems in non-direct ways. Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter described it in a pretty fitting way: >I think creative thinking, in a business sense, has incredible value. My colleague here, Ewan Branda, has said that the architecture degree will be the law degree of the 21st century. He’s basically saying that this degree will open doors in the way that the law degree did last century, in politics and elsewhere. I’d love to see an architect in the White House. So, for example: poverty. You've said "I don't see how anyone would think architecture would be where you would start with for poverty for example." But invert the thinking, and ask critically: What role does the built environment play in the perpetuation of poverty, and how could new thinking *help* relieve the issue? We design that built environment, and there are real, concrete ways in which we can work with our clients — both public and private — to alleviate the effects of the status quo. The same is true for almost *any* profession. TL;DR: It's a mixture of the expansion of the perceived value of design education, and an increasing awareness that we — as much as anybody else — have an obligated role to play beyond copying and pasting flashing details for a client. | 0 | 7,219 | 4 | ||

Rub some architecture on that, you'll be better in no time.. | exmaaw5 | exloh5o | 1,566,427,452 | 1,566,416,608 | 3 | 1 | My first question for you is: who specifically do you think *should* solve environmental problems or issues stemming from inequality and discrimination? Systemic problems require everyone to pitch in what they can to help. And frankly, insinuating that certain professions aren’t required or qualified to help sounds to me like sweeping these issues under the rug - “not my problem,” “not your place to help.” I don’t see why any profession shouldn’t try to make the world better, healthier, and more equitable. The good news is that architects have the opportunity - and I would argue, a responsibility - to do exactly that in their designs and professional practices. What is the value of design that doesn’t address real problems, anyway? If architects *can* levy their skills in response to a housing crisis, I would argue they *should*. It’s also not uncommon, for those who are able, to do some pro bono work. If architects *can* learn and apply more sustainable design strategies, again I would say that they *should*. Sure, saying that architecture (or any other profession) can *solve all problems* would be hubris, but we sure as hell should do our part. My second question to you is: what problems do you actually consider to be “architectural problems”? The built environment has profound impacts on human health, climate change, energy consumption, habitat loss, water use, and just about any other sustainability issue you can name. Architecture (like some of the previous comments mention) is something that affects all of us, and we interact with it just about everyday. Especially since we now understand that literally no part of the planet is unaffected by human activity, it seems like a good idea for architects to consider the social and environmental impact of their designs. Architecture firms can absolutely own up to and help mitigate gender discrimination in the field as well. There is a huge gap between the percentage of women graduating from architecture schools and gaining a foothold in the profession. From the New York Times: “Until 1972 and the advent of Title IX, which forbade gender discrimination in federally funded education programs, most American architecture schools refused to admit women. The last major survey of the field found that women account for half of graduates from architecture programs in this country, but they make up about 20 percent of licensed architects and 17 percent of partners or principals in architecture firms” As a genderqueer person, I’ve faced my fair share of harassment and dismissiveness in supposedly professional environments. But I’m determined to “be the change” I want to see, earn my license, and treat people with respect. I’m committed to contributing my fair share to the design profession and the world at large. I hope everyone who reads this will, too! Cheers.

Architects are hired and have to do the clients bidding. They don't decide where or what gets built, they partially decide how but that's it. In some ways it can solve problems. For example in urban development/layout (which is also done by architects) , the built enviroment has influence over people, society and behaviour in that enviroment. | 1 | 10,844 | 3 | ||

Very simple designs with thoughtful use of materials. A nice period of late post-modernism where buildings became very ornamental by exaggerating their construction elements, aka tectonics. He's known for his rural houses which used materials associated with agricultural buildings i.e. corrugated metal and plywood painted red. A style / technique known as critical regionalism. Some of Ranzo Piano's buildings were the same way such as the Tjibaou Cultural Center and the California Academy of Sciences. Also look up Patricia Patkau's Seabird Island School. Another great example of critical regionalism due to it's inspiration from western Canada's indigenous culture. | - Rem Koolhaas - Santiago Calatrava - Frank Ghery All great minds who never feared to go bold or go home.
