@DamonZumbroegel @archinect It could be a home, just not the type we're used to. I would be interested to visit when it's raining. It would be a very different and rather abstract concept of "home"...

@archinect Looks like a nice place to walk around, but not to live or stay. Not a home.

Australian architect Steven Chu has won the Grand Prize in the latest NOT A HOTEL DESIGN COMPETITION on Yakushima Island, Japan. His proposal, Sound of Rain, integrates a home and hotel within the island’s lush landscape. More at archinect.com/news/bustler/1…

@tjrwriting @devonzuegel Thanks!

@KarlSmithStudio @devonzuegel might be this one

@thequeenofrust They were a fixture at many California farmhouses until the 1930s. Rapidly disappearing from the landscape in the last 20 years.

The only home I’ve ever photographed that had a wooden water tower on the property. I’m curious if other photographers have ever seen one? It almost blends in with the tree behind it, so look close and zoom in. Yadkin County, NC📍

@JulieChangRE I enjoy your photos, please keep posting them!

Day 9, 3 mile walk completed of walk every day plan Who likes I'm postings pics I've taken, either in San Diego or when travelling? Should I post more? Since IG is basically one nonstop ad, where is the picture sharing site 😂 Shot of Hanalei Pier in Kauai

@DamonZumbroegel Form Follows Ego...

New Ballroom Addition to the Whitehouse is HORRIBLE! Shame on the architects, shame on the president, and shame on the people of the USA for letting their “house” get such a bad addition. “……But, it’s being privately funded” is the excuse most people give. Or, “I don’t care what they build”. Are these the same people that have pride in their country? I think they are. I am an US citizen, and I am calling this out as ………….lame as can be. I’m not even going to use “architecture words” I paid for in college, for this project does not deserve them. I’m going to make up a new word……”FUGLY”. I put the two best words to describe this building together into one word.

@JulieChangRE Sorry to hear that. Sad indeed.

@KarlSmithStudio Also tragically this was my childhood. My mom didn’t ask me for hugs nor initiate them until she got cancer. Sad

What’s the best way to insult or come back at rude or nasty people that isn’t a flat out FU 😹 but is completely cutting them down many levels? Bless your heart Oh dear You should try smiling more

@DamonZumbroegel @__EllieR__ Beautiful!

When you just say…….”Aahhhhh”….one of those “ughs”. I get it. Puebla does that to me too….The City between the Mountains. Let me tell you….the Sun blessed this place on this Holy Day. I share it with you……. Pics from my walk to morning prayers….. My gift to you. Miss Ugh.

Mexico - Cholula - Puebla on Palm Sunday ….. then on to …………………………………Oaxaca City. For me, these two images capture a feeling of a place that one can only “feel” when they come for a visit. After a week here in Puebla, I highly recommend everyone come for a visit. It is truly a wondrous place filled to the brim with life. The people, the food, the architecture, the weather……there is a reason people settled here and made things beautiful. Oaxaca City next……on the road again. Anyone have any advice for me in the great state of Oaxaca? ….and they still drive VW Bugs……Viva!!!!!! Mexico Rocks!!!!!

@JulieChangRE Excellent!

@KarlSmithStudio Haha got it I was also thinking - I wasn’t hugged nor told I was loved as a child - what’s your excuse 😹

@JulieChangRE It suggests the person you are talking to is brain dead. It is a backup insult to Oh Dear and Bless Your Heart.

@KarlSmithStudio Ok ngl I don’t get how this is insulting lol.

It was a lament, not an argument. Projects like this charming beauty are harder to build now because of the costs of fees/permits, building and planning code restrictions, etc. And yes, I am aware that people will pay for greater quality, and especially, luxury. Case in point? The Birkin Bag-always in style, always desirable...

@KarlSmithStudio Not according to @mattbaran and if your argument is people won’t pay more for beautiful things - resale housing proves different and there are multiple industries that show people will

We don’t build apartment buildings like this anymore

@ralphDrussoATH ..and make sure you have five players out there when the games is on the line...

Duke holds off St. John's. Basketball is simple: Have the best two players on the court.

@mattbaran @FightWithMemes The Green monster, Bezos style...

@FightWithMemes Great fences make great neighbors.

If a crime is punishable by a fine, that means the law is breakable for a price.

I am the captain now

@CoachForGov Why don't you work to get TSA funded? That's far more important right now. Sports can wait.

The transfer portal has screwed up college sports. My bill is simple: you get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and you get 1 transfer. After that, if you transfer again, you sit out a year. This will fix 80% of the issues in NIL today.

@JulieChangRE Gotcha

@KarlSmithStudio not at all when you're the listing agent

oh my reminds me of an elementary school exhibit

@texasrunnerDFW @zerohedge Irony is seldom pretty...

@zerohedge They’re going to financially punish the people actually visiting so they can fund a campaign to lure in the people who aren’t visiting 😂
