qg6i7q | architecture_train | 0.76 | What is wrong with our architecture? [removed] | hi586vv | hi7nbkp | 1,635,272,376 | 1,635,311,172 | 2 | 7 | £££££ | Lastly, I want to push back on this common idea from conservative architectural criticism that commercial interests are ruining architecture. Commercial interests have defined architecture for as long as buildings have existed. The Greek agora was a commercial center, the Roman Forum was a commercial center, the Medici's built a ton of architecture off of and to convey their extreme wealth, all religious architecture was built to represent an idea that could generate further tithings (this may feel contentious and dismissive, but is inherently true, as without tithings a religion wouldn't be able to build, so 'good' religious architecture is that which generates revenue to build more 'good' architecture), the hellhole of pre-war industrialization was driven by commercial interests, etc. We have lived in a world with at least some capitalist basis for several thousand years now, and that means that architecture has been inherently capital driven. To say that only now has capitalism started ruining architecture is to ignore recent and distant history. As discussed above, it isn't capitalism that's too blame for the evolution of architecture: it's the shift away from dirt cheap, expendable labor that defined the highly crafted detailing of historic buildings, and the increased complexity of building systems as we demand more and more services and comfort from our buildings. The exterior face of a building used to be the major cost driver and labor was cheap so adding detail added relatively little to that cost. Now, costs are driven by the MEP systems within a building and high labor costs mean facades can quickly double in cost if more manpower is required. The outcome is residential buildings where each occupant controls their own temperature and humidity but the exterior is a 'boring' safe, warranty-able system involving as few contractors as possible. | 0 | 38,796 | 3.5 | ||

How about: * Competitive bids that force firms into a "race to the bottom" for how fast/cheap they can execute a design * Codes, zoning, and design review boards that are so prescriptive, there's not much room for creativity * Everyone's low bids mean that they spend all of construction fighting each other for add services/change orders, and covering their butts from potential future litigation, instead of cooperating * Late-Stage Capitalism | 1 | 21,271 | 3.5 | ||

e2omxu | architecture_train | 0.76 | Is traditional architecture dead? [ask] I'm in love with any kind of traditional style architecture, I highly prefer it to modern styles personally. These preferences I have really hurt the enjoyment of my architecture passion because it depresses me so much that buildings are hardly ever made like they were before the mid-20th century. It turns me off from the idea of becoming an architect at all since no developers want traditional style buildings made anymore. I frankly have no interest in any modern styles whatsoever, unless you count something like Art Deco. Will traditional practices and styles ever have a chance of becoming more commonly used again? | f8wqp7p | f8wu3xr | 1,574,897,353 | 1,574,899,977 | 4 | 8 | I don’t know if they will come back but there is more and more of demand for up keep, renovation and conversions that demands knowledge of traditional architecture to be done correctly. Also there are heritage projects in lots of countries and city’s, some with laws that do not permit modern aesthetic in historical areas but need new buildings all the same. | Nope! It's not dead. Check out r/Architecturalrevival for a mix of some older buildings and newer projects. Also, organizations like Congress for New Urbanism and Institute for Classical Art and Architecture are doing well (my experience is limited to the USA). There are also whole schools that focus on traditional/classical design, like Notre Dame. | 0 | 2,624 | 2 | ||

Though if you want to build new buildings, I can’t really encourage you enough to approach architecture with an open mind. Part of what you design in professional practice is ultimately for the client that’s paying the bills, and art deco at the present moment is appreciated as a historical artifact as opposed to being actively built. Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Mies Van der Rohe, and Ray and Charles Eames are good places to start in broadening horizons. :D | There are a TON of traditional architects out there, but the typical architectural media refuses to write about them or publish anything about them.

gquy30 | architecture_train | 1 | In the digital world, are any of you still using traditional sketching? :) In the digital world, are any of you still using traditional sketching? :) Small sketch from Danish Architecture Office XP Arkitektur on Instagram. | frvbxct | frvierd | 1,590,500,867 | 1,590,504,400 | 2 | 4 | Absolutely. I can’t start digitally without sketches and often times models. I think better off the computer | My school does not allow the use of CAD throughout its first and second year of architecture. Everything is hand drawn. Only in third year the computer is slowly introduced. This practise makes almost everybody to use paper for sketching, thinking, and trying out ideas. Even when CAD stuff is printed out, many times students and professors manually draw and sketch on top of it. Nonetheless, I am the expection, as I am diving full in into BIM and digitalisation. I also sketch a lot about my projects but I sketch on my iPad instead of paper and I print stuff out whenever it is needed. So far I have saved throusands sheets of paper with this practise, and iPad has increased my productivity as it also allows to do other parallel tasks at the same time. | 0 | 3,533 | 2 | ||

This means architecture should contribute toward the architectural culture of place (not contrasting as a default), and contribute toward the urban morphologies that promote good urban living (human scaled masses, walk able and interesting street front, etc).

7uopcd | architecture_train | 0.78 | [ask] In my last year of high-school and need some building ideas So essentially my class has to design a small to medium sized building that serves a purpose to the community. For example a cafe, sports pavilion, resturant, new classroom etc. Besides these building I've named, does anyone have any other unique buildings that would be fun to design? | dtma37u | dtm4mat | 1,517,564,332 | 1,517,552,590 | 7 | 6 | whenever we got a free brief at uni, our tutors would always emphasise the importance of researching the area and finding something unique about it to focus on. For instance in my first year we had a free brief and I discovered there was a colony of an endangered bird species near our site. I decided to make a wildlife conservation center where the facade could act as an additional habitat to these birds and the other local wildlife. In my second year I found out that the playwright Samuel Beckett had lived for a period in the same town as our site and decided to design a theatre purely for performing his plays. Kind of like how Shakespeare’s globe is only for performing his plays. This research would typically account for at least 10-15% of our overall project and was incredibly important for developing interesting and sensitive schemes. Take a similar approach to sourcing local materials for the project and you’ll be onto a winner. | Maker space | 1 | 11,742 | 1.166667 | ||

For instance in my first year we had a free brief and I discovered there was a colony of an endangered bird species near our site. I decided to make a wildlife conservation center where the facade could act as an additional habitat to these birds and the other local wildlife. In my second year I found out that the playwright Samuel Beckett had lived for a period in the same town as our site and decided to design a theatre purely for performing his plays.

We were modifying Le Corbusier’s Unite D’Habitation layout. Our duplexes were 3-4 bedrooms in almost jack shapes, with rectangular Accessible units in between. We also varied the floor to ceiling height so the bedroom floors were minimal (8’) and the living floors were maximized (12’). Circulation was every 3rd floor. Because of the unit shapes, the color coded legos helped show how units overlapped each other. | 1 | 4,744 | 3 | ||

I've always seen other materials being used to construct models but would Legos be a legitimate option to use as well? I am a big lego fan and it's a pastime I've had for years | iegidno | iehs297 | 1,656,687,076 | 1,656,705,733 | 2 | 3 | If it fits your model's scale, I think you could use legos to highlight one particular element on your project, say a particular stone or brick wall on a large hall for example. But a whole model made of legos might not work in a professional environment. | For yourself? Absolutely. For an architecture school project? Don’t. Just don’t. There’s a huge stigma, and I buy the argument, because it’s too much about the lego and not about what you’re building. They also are very difficult to properly scale. | 0 | 18,657 | 1.5 | ||

There are 'glazing' pieces, multiple roof lines, etc. Obviously not infinitely flexible, but can support scaled, refined models that look professional. Helps they're all the same color as well, when assembled it looks like one material (plastic/foam core) rather than lego. | For yourself? Absolutely. For an architecture school project? Don’t.

We were modifying Le Corbusier’s Unite D’Habitation layout. Our duplexes were 3-4 bedrooms in almost jack shapes, with rectangular Accessible units in between. We also varied the floor to ceiling height so the bedroom floors were minimal (8’) and the living floors were maximized (12’). Circulation was every 3rd floor. Because of the unit shapes, the color coded legos helped show how units overlapped each other. | For yourself? Absolutely. For an architecture school project? Don’t. Just don’t.
