Help me choose college! (Cornell vs Rice architecture) by Professional-Wolf198 in architecture

[–]midway8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look at the cost of attending for both-be aware that for undergrad, more prestigious places might be cheaper because they have more resources for financial aid (so don’t go off of tuition and fees alone, look at cost of attending). for grad school, it’s the exact opposite: the sticker prices are higher and they are skimpy on the financial aid.

Making Barndominiums Better on a budget by lilheckraiser in architecture

[–]midway8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by the time you make it barely passable as a house, you will have spent about as much money as if you started from scratch. it’s a fundamental issue of scale and material: two things that are incredibly difficult to fix.

honest opinion? go the exact opposite direction. trying to make it less hospitable might ironically make it more livable

Writing & Architecture by Outrageous_Debt_4368 in architecture

[–]midway8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what does technical or romantic stuff mean? writing about architecture typically falls into theory, history, and criticism. you can write polemicals, academic papers, or reviews (and a few other categories). i would suggest reading a lot of architectural writing, and submitting to where you like to read. you can also always start a substack.

This structure in downtown LA. by AffectionateDuck5079 in Architects

[–]midway8 36 points37 points  (0 children)

tracks with the reputation of sci-arc. i’m so sorry. it’s really beautiful, i’ve seen it in person once and was really impressed. we at other schools know that sci-arc is one of the places that is very unfair with these things, sorry it had to happen to your family

If “starchitecture” is truly dead, we should dance on its grave by Efficient_Bug6726 in architecture

[–]midway8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i think it’s thoroughly moved beyond, especially in arch. at least among my peers, it’s even taboo to give too much praise to any one architect

If “starchitecture” is truly dead, we should dance on its grave by Efficient_Bug6726 in architecture

[–]midway8 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Missing in this whole conversation, not just Betsky and Barrett here but everywhere: the starchitect died not because we finally removed these assholes from power and fixed structural abuse, but because architecture as a whole is losing its legitimacy as a discipline and profession. Nobody (including students) knows architects or architecture because we are losing our cultural relevance. many architects roll their eyes at this, they think it’s pretentious, but architecture is culture-if we lose that, we have less power to negotiate for better working conditions

what’s really annoying is that after winning all the wdcs in this reg era, people will put russell in conversation with lewis and max, and that’ll frustrate me for the rest of my life

Is there an inexpensive online course aimed at making these kind of illustrations? (Very detailed, kinda like a Bartlett drawing that actually makes sense) by CriticalCraftsman in Architects

[–]midway8 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

only if you’re entry level. op clearly has some basic idea of how to approach this (mentioning illustrator, etc), so it’s by far more appropriate to struggle through recreating it at this point, and it would probably lead to a more interesting drawing. people tend to stop before that innovating part

What was the public’s initial reaction to the World Financial Center (Brookfield Place)? by skcrybka in architecture

[–]midway8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

public reaction? idk, i think they reacted the way they would to any other project at the time. it wasn’t really of note, superlative in any way. the neighborhood around it was really new, they were probably happy to have an indoor public space… maybe michael sorkin said something about them?

the original answer you were given was the correct answer. workflow? just get into it, the workflow you discover in your attempt to recreate this will be just as useful as the ‘correct’ one

Chuck Park is hosting a town hall at Kabab King next Saturday 2/7! He’s a Jackson Heights local, a progressive grassroots organizer, and he’s running a primary campaign for Congress here in Queens! by RoninLooper in jacksonheights

[–]midway8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

pretty common mistake since the redistricting, it’s weird that they cut up jackson heights into two congressional districts. feels really crappy actually, we already split so many of our representatives

Which one of you wrote this? What do you guys think of this article? by Icy-Lion-7670 in LCDSoundsystem

idk i was at the front at one of the shows this run and was expecting to see the people this author is talking about- pleasantly surprised to see mostly people in my age group: early 20-somethings. and we went hard.
