Entrance to the Batu Caves, Malaysia (photo by Lloyd Alozie on Unsplash ) I’ve previously mentioned how Bill Kleinsasser constantly revised his self-published textbook SYNTHESIS , which served as the foundation for his introductory course on architecture at the University of Oregon. All told, he produced nine editions, of which I have three. He undoubtedly considered each an improvement over its immediately preceding version.

If you ask any homeowner about the most widely-used space in their house, the answer will probably be the kitchen, at least in most cases. Be it freshly-prepared warm food or concealed storage the kitchen, is the unsung hero in every household. But there’s one feature in all kitchens that bears the brunt of all the work. It’s the primary defense system against the scratches from the cutlery, the stains from the seasoning, and even the oil spills.

ideas for a housing competition My family thinks that I will continue working because I enjoy it - and they are right. Mostly. I enjoy the process of thinking, drawing, coming up with ideas to solve problems, getting ideas built, teaching people and learning from them. But people also get in the way; they don't listen, they drag their feet with decisions, they are lazy and petty.

Your website, and your ability to be found online, is crucial to your architecture firm’s survival. Prior to the Coronavirus crisis, many architects we talked with would tell us that they never get new business from their websites and that their firm's success is based on their reputation and working relationships. While this may have felt true a few years ago, your website is now the first place most potential clients will go to learn about your firm, even when they are referred to you.

When a building floods or is torn apart by a hurricane or consumed by fire, or rendered almost useless by weeks without electric power, it used to be "force major" or "an act of god". Unfortunate but rare. But with rare becoming common the damages to the built environment reach new heights every year. It isn't no longer enough to point to the higher powers.

Burnham & Root, Masonic Temple. Exterior from Floor 16 to the top of the skylight. Note that the windows in the Observation Deck are open. Also note the exposed steel trussed arches that support the skylight. (Hoffmann, Root ). The challenge of designing and erecting this building was not, by any means, eased by its intended program, for this was not to be your ordinary 1890 office building.

LeRoy S. Buffington, 28-story Cloudscraper, Minneapolis, 1888. (Inland Architect , July 1888). All of these tall buildings in New York that I have reviewed were constructed with ‘boxed” construction, that is, while they had iron skeleton framing in their interiors, they still had masonry bearing walls/piers supporting the exterior. We have seen that this even included the 309’ tall World Building, whose walls at grade were 7’-4” thick.

Hunting the Hart During our recent stop in Buckingham, the town’s White Hart Hotel was looking particularly attractive with its hanging baskets, so I paused to take the photograph above. I wanted to show not just the flowers but also some detail of the Doric porch, which acts as a platform for the statue of the eponymous white hart with the traditional gold coronet around its neck.
