When thinking of a residential project, toilets aren’t the first aspect that comes to mind. Your mind immediately goes to the French windows in the living room, the silky marble floors, or the decor of your room. Sadly, toilets are way down on the priority list! But they are critical to our daily lives. So ironic, isn’t it?! Other than being responsible for our health and a savior for the environment, a toilet also acts as the best place to browse through Facebook or Instagram, reply to emails,

Let’s talk about a wonderful architectural delight: staircases. They are one of the few architectural endeavors that exist to connect two different points in space. It’s purpose is both functional and symbolic. And this is why architects have developed the concept beyond the structural element. Nowadays, some staircases are on the level of poetry.

This is the fanlight over the main door to the Old First Church, built in 1803-5 in Bennington, Vermont. Lavius Fillmore was the Master Builder; Oliver Abel, his Master Carpenter, and Asa Hyde, the Joiner and carver. The fanlight design consists of 2 parts: the 'scallops' around the curve and the 'leaves' coming up from the base. It is simple, graceful.

Last month, a few architects and their friends completed a roof structure project at the SRK Chung Hua Batu Kitang. The design of the roof was completed before the first MCO, and its development into the construction stage proceeded slowly through red tape and lock downs without ever stopping. Until last month when the roofing structure is completed, providing shade and a play area over an existing basketball court for 300 grateful primary school children.

Genuine imitation This building is nicely sited at one end of Daventry High Street, facing up the street. Its frontage therefore acts as an attractive focal point as one looks towards it, and the white stucco finish draws the eye. What I thought I was looking at was the 18th-century idea of a Tudor-period gothic house front. The battlements, octagonal corner turrets, friezes with quatrefoils, and windows with dripstones and ornate glazing bars all point to this.

(Derby CT 2008). Every second passes, and there was a before, now and after. Unrelenting. Unchanging. On every thing we see, hear, taste and touch. Time is universal. It is so pervasive, so overwhelming, that we often simply ignore it. (Madison, CT 2021). We want to live forever. We want to freeze time. We revel in the past, we want the past to disappear.

Burnham & Root, Monadnock Block. Everyone knows about Root’s famous chamfer of the corner of the Monadock, but I have only recently understood a much more subtle detail on the part of Root in the Monadnock. It took me almost 50 years to see it, let alone understand it, but I hope I have it figured out. There is an old saying among artists, sometimes you do something for yourself, and if even one person finds/appreciates it, it was worth the doing.

I have a nagging problem. I compare my work and myself to others all the time. Most often, it’s irrational and brought about by my insecurities. But, as a creative person, I need to make things. I also need those things to matter once they’re out in the world. So the question is, “Where does my work stand?” Comparison is an unfair game that fuels jealousy, contempt, and frustration.

In today’s construction market, owners, construction managers, and contractors must navigate increasing challenges, from cost management to project delays. Fortunately, digital tools now offer valuable insights to help mitigate these risks. However, the sheer volume of tools and the complexity of leveraging their data effectively can be daunting. That’s where data-driven construction comes in.

The joys of the wriggly stuff Up there in the list of my obsessions are various things that are not strictly architecture, but which are adjuncts to architecture and often make buildings interesting or give them interesting contexts – lettering on buildings, three-dimensional pub signs, post boxes, wooden shacks, obsolete petrol pumps, and, somewhere near the top of the heap, corrugated iron.

This is the next episode in a series looking back at old blog posts. Late 2013 and approaching my third Pumpkin competition. This is the one where I went way off topic, and to be honest bit of more than I could chew. All the same I learnt a lot and just as importantly realised the need for some course correction for my fourth and final pumpkin adventure the next year.
