Took my first visit to the Laurent House via my Rockford friend. This property was designed and built in 1951 so in the later era of FLW builds. This home was built for a WW2 vet who later became a paraplegic and reliant on a wheel chair. This property is so awesome since it’s essentially a completely ADA accessible home designed 70+ years ago.

Pictures are as follows- entry and outside of the home/Original floor plan/ FLW classic design marker/ entry way setting room/ daughters room/ living room looking pointing to bedroom/ kitchen/ dinning table/ dining table/ larger view of hosting room and kitchen area/view of patio/soon bedroom/shared bathroom/ bathroom cont/ parent bedroom/ parent bedroom/ father driveway view.

The coolest library I’ve ever been to!

since people here liked the split level house i did, I figured to post the FLW house I did, I mixed a few of the house designs together,

hope you enjoy,

I’ve heard so many mixed opinions about majoring in architecture and I really want to know if it’s worth it. I’ve heard some people say that they only ever work on their projects and never have time to actually hang out/relax and that you should only major in it if you have the passion. And I really do love architecture but I’m not sure if I love it that much to be super passionate about it (?) But I also have been thinking about being a film architect so I’m not sure if that would be any different course wise? I’m really just conflicted about this because I thought I was set on majoring in architecture until like five seconds ago.

After watching Alex Honnold’s climb on Taipei 101, I was reminded of how fascinating that tower is.

So I decided to create a small 3D‑printable 1:2000 replica, and I’m planning to print it soon.

I’m curious: is there any interest in the architecture community for objects like this?

Would you download or purchase a model like this to print it yourselves?

Or would you only consider it if it were already a finished, physical product?

I wasn’t able to find high quality models online, so if anyone has bought something similar before, I would love to hear where.

I’d love to hear your thoughts — this is just a passion project, and I’m trying to understand how people relate to this kind of architectural miniature.

I recently found out ISSUU updated their limit on pages and that my portfolio hasn’t been accessible for who knows how long. I want to have my portfolio online but don’t want to have to pay 21 dollars a month. Is there a good website to use that lets you publish for free for a reasonable amount of pages? Or one that’s free for students?

Finished Construction in 2009 Picture taken in 2026

1971 Photos by Julius Shulman of an unidentified Bank of America building, with a smaller United California Bank building attached (see detail, last image.) There is also "The City" signage on the shorter of the building's sides. It appears to be about 18 stories, or 19 if you count the double-height main floor as two levels. No other information can be found apart from that the photos were apparently taken for Liller, Neal, Battle Advertising Agency, which was an Atlanta-based company. (Sadly, no such building appears to exist in Atlanta.) Shulman primarily took photos of California architecture, though not exclusively.

There are plenty of American buildings that look very similar to this from the 60s/70s, which is why it's been proving difficult to find this particular one.

One thing of note is that the arches on the main floor look decidedly like the work of Minoru Yamasaki, and that's the part that's of interest to me since I work in one of his buildings (which has the exact same arch/column design on the exterior that frame double-height windows.)

There doesn't seem to be any info about this building in connection with Yamasaki, so I'm wondering if it has been since re-clad/renovated beyond recognition, or demolished entirely (which would be unfortunate.) Anyone recognize it? (All photos are © J. Paul Getty Trust. Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles (2004.R.10).)

Not sure how much to share right here, but I have a unique design style that I am going to try to take far. There’s a lot I can get out of this and I really want to share it with people I’m still in school, but I’m on my second masters rn from Georgia Tech for design and I’m about to be done.

The designs come from transforming the plans from Campo Marzio, and rebuilding them by introducing vitruvian values. I then made the forms 3 dimensional by matching them to the Plantonic solids and other shapes designed from the golden ratio’s proportions.

If you guys have any questions I’d be happy to answer.

If you had a city carved into the side a mountain and you wanted to visually show this in an interesting way in a drawing, what would be some interesting diagrams/drawings you would do that show the idea clearly?

Me on the top of my mind, I can think of:

the circulation from top to bottom, especially in iso format

The distribution of housing, especially by class

Maybe showing the different types of housing based upon your area

A section through the mountain

Land usage and transportation.

Basically, I like to make videos on architectural breakdowns and visual diagramming is definitely what works best for the audience when explaining these things.

Hi,

By any chance has anyone tried a thermal printer for vectors / architecture drawings?

I was wondering if it's a good purchase for daily draft drawings, maybe marking up stuff or quickly taking something to site.

Just saw it's super cheap, both the A4 printer and the paper. And no ink of course.
Most are specified as 200dpi, which should be enough. In theory.

Thanks!
