It’s got lots of ergonomic/spatial data illustrated with diagrams (eg how much space do you need to open a kitchen cabinet when kneeling). Therefore, anything you read on this site is not a substitute for actually working with me. I know the Rural Studio and $20k house folks seemed to reference it at times in their posts.

Hatchet Bedrooms | Life of an Architect

Life of an Architect

And most importantly, a “sheltered” U-shape to put the bed in… Never ceases to amaze me how fluent/flexible/viscous/gooey paper architecture is… and then thnking on site “this room can be here, these windows longer… oops, no they can’t anymore! Nope hatchets are not a problem for me.

On Case Studies

A Daily Dose of Architecture Books

The essay continues for seven more images or pairs of images that trace the site's historical uses, its conversion to a training centre, and its potential in influencing future preservation projects. My favorites tend toward the last: an abundance of visual information accompanied by input from both creators and critics.
