d6dxm2 | architecture_train | 0.84 | What do you think about the Soviet Architecture? [ask] I am talking about the massive, monoblock commie blocks. Do you think that they are affordable housing, pretty looking or ugly? What are the pros and cons? | f0sf7ky | f0siqhw | 1,568,903,951 | 1,568,905,586 | 7 | 8 | Much of Soviet housing was built for expediency, with a short life expectancy. The were considered to be a temporary solution. They didn't necessarily think of this stuff as good architecture. It served a purpose. Wikipedia article on Khrushchyovka | I was impressed by much of the Stalinist era housing when I visited Moscow. The scale was quite large, and utilized a repetitive bay spacing and window size. The architects used a stripped classical language to articulate the exterior in a way that was relatively simple, but still a successful composition. The local architect I was touring with explained Khrushchev criticized the Stalinist stuff as 'too opulent'. | 0 | 1,635 | 1.142857 | ||

xzaie0 | architecture_train | 0.88 | Do you ever find times when you have an ethical problem with the what a client wants? How do you deal with it? Have you found yourself in an ethical disagreement with what your client wants? How do you handle it? Ethical in this sense does not relate to legality. Instead, ethical refers to something being bad for the environment, bad for people, bad for cities etc… Example 1: A client wants to build an apartment building. But their focus is in making the most money possible, so they ask you to make it as cheap as possible, while also having the appearance of a higher tier apartment so they can charge more money. Example 2: Your client wants to push a commercial building through on an urban site. They dislike the form-based code the city is requiring and they want far more than the city allows for that site. Therefore, they ask you to make a proposal that is way out of scale, hoping that it will shock the city enough so that going down to the desired scale (still larger than the city allows, and still out if scale) makes the city feel like we sacrificed a lot to compromise. Example 3: The client wants far more parking than is required. This would require more disturbance of the land and stormwater management measures. The client is willing to pay for it, but you know so much parking will be bad for the neighborhood, the aesthetics and SWM of the area. Example 4: The client asks you to put in the cheapest HVAC and electrical equipment allowed by code because they are selling the building later and won’t have to pay the bills to maintain it. | irlfgmp | irls5hj | 1,665,287,670 | 1,665,296,118 | -2 | 3 | I don’t see the problem with any of these. The reality is 2 fold: 1- it’s not your job to police ethics. But, 2- it is absolutely your prerogative to decline the work. If I were you, I would be careful how you decline it. Maybe say you are too booked right now and offer a contact for the client to try, because if you simply object on ethical grounds, you will definitely irritate the client and they will likely spread disparaging reviews of you around town. | I did , I had a extremely well paid job I with big developer to was making giga mansions in LA. The boss wasted so much money on dumbest sht , and never wanted to create anything cool. He also wanted everything to meet the bare minimum on MEP side . I just couldn't work for such a greedy person , he has all the money to make cool stuff .etc. | 0 | 8,448 | -1.5 | ||

There is nothing wrong with a client wanting an architect's good ideas, using thrifty materials to make a building look more expensive than it is is good design. Maybe I misunderstood the scenario, but if you make a building look expensive thorough good design, not necessarily spending a lot of money, that's a win. If you're not misrepresenting anything, I don't see a problem. \#2 - if you're getting paid for all the work you do I don't see the issue. Your design does not force the city to accept a lesser proposal, your work and what the city approves for the client have no relationship to each other in this case. Having spent many years on the planning commission for a metropolitan area, I can tell you professional planners don't give a damn what you start with. If what you're presenting doesn't meet the standards, it doesn't get approved, no one gives a damn how many iterations they've seen. Nobody says "well gee, he's given up so much already, let's give him this one." And you should tell your client that and try to discourage the approach. But in the end they'll do what they want. (I will admit I go into value engineering knowing what I will give up, but those are things I really want, not just tools to get someone to think I've sacrificed.) \#3 this is one of those "if I don't do it someone else will" scenarios. If ethically you don't want to be involved with square miles of asphalt, let someone else do it. Then you go to your planning commission and ask them to think about maximum parking limits. (areas with transit-oriented-development zones do limit the parking) Places with stormwater issues will only allow X amount of hardscape. If you feel this is an ethical issue, then you should be working to get zoning in place that prevents such parking lots from being permitted. IMO. \#4 If your client knows what they're putting in is inexpensive, it's not your job to force them to upgrade. If they ask for life-cycle cost analysis, you do that and the client decides what to do. You can choose to not work with such clients but it has everything to do with preference and nothing to do with ethics. I don't see any of these as true ethical issues. You're not allowing someone to break the law. There is no deception. I once had a client who was having "his guys" rip out a boatload of asbestos-containing pipe wrap under the table, we terminated that contract and called the city. That's something that can harm others. Ethical issue. And one time we had a client who wanted to pay a large fee in cash. Not sure if that is business decision or ethical one but it was along the lines of "we don't want to be involved in money laundering." (sorry this got so long) | I actually lived in a building like number 1 and it was a complete nightmare. It changed how I view multifamily construction significantly. Stuff like that also can fall on the third party management company. For example, the building I left refused to change the hot water heaters even though the condition was a code violation. I still work on multifamily but I try to push back on at least certain things so that the same mistakes are not repeated. | 1 | 5,224 | 1.5 | ||

It changed how I view multifamily construction significantly. Stuff like that also can fall on the third party management company. For example, the building I left refused to change the hot water heaters even though the condition was a code violation. I still work on multifamily but I try to push back on at least certain things so that the same mistakes are not repeated. | I don’t see the problem with any of these. The reality is 2 fold: 1- it’s not your job to police ethics. But, 2- it is absolutely your prerogative to decline the work. If I were you, I would be careful how you decline it.

There are definitely times when the local zoning is ridiculous especially in places with high levels of NIMBYism. Local zoning doesn't a priori have the best needs of the neighborhood in mind, there's a lot of politics there. The way suburbs are zoned in the US is ridiculous.

Again this is super circumstantial. Usually a client isn't going to ask for more of something that isn't required unless its a necessity because the primary driver is keeping costs down. So you'd want to drill down as to why they needed more parking. There are lots of places that say don't have a parking requirement or the minimums don't work for the type of place you're building. A church for example that has a lot of elderly people will often need a lot of parking close to the building, maybe more than the city requires, but it makes sense to do it. College campus facilities often don't come with parking requirements but, everyone knows parking on campus is a nightmare pretty much everywhere, so it makes sense to up the numbers. I don't know that this is really that common of an issue where a client actually wants more of something than is required. Usually you're just trying to get them to hit the minimums. 4.

The architect can, however, police things that are criminal or illegal and has a responsibility as a licensed professional to do so. Building a strip club next to an elementary school may not be noble, but that decision is made way above the level of an architect. He can choose to take the job or not.

It's reasonable to push back on them here since typically you are the expert in the room in terms of seeking approvals and knowing the approvals board mood and appetite for variances (and having a professional relationship with them sure to other projects, etc). Assuming you are getting paid, doing an adequate job but not not going out of your way to fight for the variance is fine too... Let the ship sink on its own. When come time for resubmission you can advise them to follow the recommendation of the board (probably something like "this needs to fit within the established guidelines") or have the client pay you for more work again for the same result.

8tjb1m | architecture_train | 0.84 | [ask] Looking for a specific book on contemporary Japanese Architecture. So I was at the library yesterday reading through some different architecture books, when I came across a book titled something along the lines of "Contemporary Japanese Architecture". The book was small and yellow. The first half was text, and the second was color and black and white photos. The work featured in the photos was from both Kenzo Tange and Arata Isozaki, with all of the photos done by Yukio Futagawa. The book was truly incredible and the photos were unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately, the library I found the book at is now closed for remodeling, so I'm unable to go back and find it. I've tried searching the internet to purchase it, but have had no success. I was just curious if anyone on this subreddit was familiar with the book, or could point me in the right direction. Also, if anyone has any information on where I can see more work from Yukio Futagawa, the photographer, that would be great. I have tried searching for him but all that comes up is obituaries. | e181ed8 | e185bno | 1,529,866,300 | 1,529,870,288 | 1 | 4 | Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Japanese-House-Craftsmanship-Function/dp/B000MXC3A0/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1529866212&sr=1-6&refinements=p_27%3AYukio+Futagawa&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=4174YrNiguL&ref=plSrch | I think I found it!
