@aaron_lubeck Will max height be measured from water level in the dry season or wet season? 🤔

I’m going to submit this plan to my local American stormwater department, just to see how they’ll handle the riparian buffers.

Living in Italy explodes whatever preconceived notions you might have as an American about building codes and land use. Like you assume that we shouldn’t have shops on bridges and then you go to Florence and notice that the best bridge you’ve ever seen is full of shops.

@heygurisingh Architects are paid based on their experience, not on their ability to create a 3-D model. Anyone can make a 3-D model, but it takes experience to know how to lay out a house for a specific client or family.

🚨Architects are going to hate this.
Someone just open sourced a full 3D building editor that runs entirely in your browser.
No AutoCAD. No Revit. No $5,000/year licenses.
It's called Pascal Editor.
Built with React Three Fiber and WebGPU -- meaning it renders directly on your GPU at near-native speed.
Here's what's inside this thing:
→ A full building/level/wall/zone hierarchy you can edit in real time
→ An ECS-style architecture where every object updates through GPU-powered systems
→ Zustand state management with full undo/redo built in
→ Next.js frontend so it deploys as a web app, not a desktop install
→ Dirty node tracking -- only re-renders what changed, not the whole scene
Here's the wildest part:
You can stack, explode, or solo individual building levels. Select a zone, drag a wall, reshape a slab -- all in 3D, all in the browser.
Architecture firms pay $50K+ per seat for BIM software that does this workflow.
This is free.
100% Open Source.

@shepherdmg Yes, we went to the evensong with four kids. Thank God they staid quiet! 😂
English
@DmitriyMolla I went to evensong back in 1996 but haven't been to a service since. The choir was incredible. Did you get to go when you visited.

What is the most beautiful building you have seen or been inside? Post a picture below.
For me, it has to be King’s College Chapel in Cambridge, UK.
English
@davidmWats That's gorgeous. I have not see this before. The clean geometric volume reminds me of King’s College Chapel.
English
@Eccentric0Eagle I have not been inside but it looked glorious as I drove by on a scooter. 😀
English
@shepherdmg Love it! Did you get to visit for evensong? The combination of architectural and acoustical beauty was amazing but I didn't get to linger and enjoy the details.
English
@Aesthetic_City @surplustakes @grok Did exactly that with Gemini. A tripartite façade division makes the buildings far more friendly. Same volume, same floor plans.

Don't know what people are complaining about, doesn't look too bad

London has built lots of flats…but few people want to buy them Since 2014, some 20,000 flats have been completed in Wandsworth. But nearly 40% of modern flats there have sold at a loss in the last 5 years archive.is/A3rfy

John Thune would rather have a 43% chance this freak represents the State of Texas in the Senate than pass the SAVE Act and ensure he never comes close.

In 2022, James Talarico said it’s “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change. "I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign... We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."

I recently had a debate with a relative about modernist art. She called me judgemental. I said I don't care. It's important to judge between ugliness and beauty, lies and truth, evil and good. I've had enough of the evil world bullying humanity into accepting and commending all that is depraved.
English
Speak the truth, be not afraid. It's a war of ideas, you won't lose a limb.

To build timeless buildings, one must...
1. Understand the past
2. Have peace in the present
3. Have confidence in the future
Our modern culture has none of these. But all of us can and must do our job to promote these ideals starting with ourselves and our families.
English
Been saying this for years.
One can see in the world all that is ugly and attempt to reflect it, which thereby increases it, or one can see in the world all that is ugly and attempt to redeem it, and thereby transfigure us. The creation of what is beautiful is the manifestation of hope in-- and participation in-- the promise of our ultimate transfiguration.
And therein lies the rub for modernist art. The hope of the classical is that ugliness is never the last word. It is implicitly redemptive because it manifests, through beauty of expression, that whatever is not beautiful can be ultimately transfigured.

Finished listening to Martin Shaw’s new book: Liturgies of the Wild. Was excellent.
One quote I’m meditating on:
“No more jabbing our pen in our wound and calling it art. In myth, any voyage into the underworld involves you bringing back beauty. If there’s no beauty, no gift, then you’ve actually not re-emerged, no matter how much you claim that you have.”
If we cannot find the beauty and the gift in the suffering, then we remain unchanged, and our soul remains small.
English
@DmitriyMolla If someone says they went to art and design school, I just assume that they are really bad at their job
English
The schools of art and design are just as bad.
Aaron Lubeck@aaron_lubeck
The "School of Architecture" is ALWAYS the ugliest building on campus. #modernismsucks

If you believe beauty is subjective, you will likely produce nothing beautiful. If you believe, for a moment, it might be real, then you start to examine what makes beautiful things beautiful: alignments, symmetries, proportions, profiles, orders, harmonies.
Wrath Of Gnon@wrathofgnon
One of the most disingenuous ways modernists, politicians and planners have to hamstring ordinary people wanting to live in beautiful places rather than ugly is that they demand "a definition of what constitutes beauty", as if this lack of metaphysical clarity requires the ugly.

Advice to art & architecture students:
Approach with skepticism arguments about beauty by those who cannot demonstrate an ability to make something beautiful.
Ángel Lamuño ❦@AngelLamuno
@CharlestonArchi @wrathofgnon So, you cannot answer my question. I bet you cannot quote a single passage of Plato where he says that ‘beauty is objective’.
English
@CharlestonArchi There is architecture school and there is architecture brainwashing called architecture school.
English
There is no such thing as a modernist architectural education. There is classical architectural education, and there is its absence. Out of 150 schools, these are the ones I can recommend:
Notre Dame
Benedictine College
Utah Valley University
Architecture@CharlestonArchi
DO NOT ATTEND @ACBACharleston for architecture. Strongly recommend against. They replaced their classically trained head with A) a modernist B) completely illiterate in classical design. Recommend retracting applications at once and going elsewhere.
