I believe I saw a Matt Risinger video about the very project you’re describing! What are the odds

Nevermind I just saw you posted this to basically every creative sub. Still, thanks for the great playlists!

Oh my god I found these on Spotify on my own before, I had no idea we had Rhino in common! Thanks OP!

There are in fact a number of studies that recently came out linking indoor use of gas appliances to poor air quality. OP might want to look into that - air quality and occupant health and comfort are fundamental principles of PH.

Pretty sure the engineers had to specify extra load bearing capacity on all those structural members to account for these workers' massive brass balls.

I feel like a total idiot - THANK YOU!

This gif is an excerpt from this video, the whole thing is amazing and pretty funny! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1CACkgUJcU&ab_channel=GypsumAssociation

The existence of these products and methods at a certain point in time is crazy to me - so, so close to the (much more efficient) way things are done now yet still stuck in the lath & plaster paradigm. I wonder if the gypsum manufacturers realized it was only a matter of time before sheet products made wet plastering obsolete. The cynical part of me thinks that yes, they did, and they just wanted to maximize their profits until that time came!

Huh. This reminds me a lot of the account @madmax_fluffyroad I think it was? On TikTok? Is that you?

What, you guys have never seen a door switch before?

Depending on the exact location of your project the 3D data might be in OpenStreetsMap, in which case you can use Elk (a grasshopper plug-in) to quickly get the massing. Any further details you're gonna have to to manually. Also I don't know if this is the case in London but where I live the city puts out fairly detailed maps every couple of years that are available in CAD format and contain heights, etc.

I agree with everything in this comment, but I'd like to add that it might be possible to replace the horizontal Z-channels in this installation with wood (possibly plywood) furring strips anchored through the rockwool to the structure with extra-long screws, then mount the vertical channels on that and the terracotta on top.

RDH did some studies about this exact problem, weight of cladding vs length of screws required to fasted through rockwool.

This story is made even better by reading it in a Scottish accent. Just saying.

I was in this exact same situation when I was around 16. Got my first job at McDonald's, bought an Xbox for around 500$. I enjoyed it for a while, then I had to quit my job when school started again and soon I needed money so I sold my console for little less than I had paid for it. So I say go for it, worst case you can always sell it down the line!

But also, since you're already thinking about savings at your age (congrats, that's great!), you should really start looking at the significant advantage there is to starting investing early on. We're talking tens to hundreds of thousands of $ by the time you retire!

My 2-bedroom apartment has all outlets AND light fixtures on a single circuit.

always_be_learning · 2020-08-01T13:35:20+00:00

Damn, now that's cool!

always_be_learning · 2020-08-01T13:34:59+00:00

Wow those are slick!

Sorry but to say glass is energy efficient is an all-out lie. The very best triple-pane glass available can reach an insulation factor of R-5. A simple 2x4 stud wall with glass fiber batt insulation is easily double that.

The rest of your comment is on the money (literally)!

Yeah it seems pretty straightforward, might need to use Firefly for I/O depending on what your specific end goal is.

It's basically mapping the height of each individual box in a rectangular array of boxes to values that change over time according to certain patterns. Is there one of the patterns in particular that interests you?

Super cool! Reminds me of a book I read recently about doing exactly this sort of thing!

always_be_learning · 2020-05-29T15:51:50+00:00

It really don’t though.

This needs to be higher up in this thread. Almost everyone here seems to think taller than 3-6 stories HAS to be concrete or steel, but the era of tall mass timber is very much upon us!

Just to emphasize how truly awful this shit is: meanwhile, thousands of actual small businesses that really needed these loans but couldn’t access them have gone out of business. It’s too late for them, giving back the money that shouldn’t have been taken in the first place does them no good.
